Hello, For the last 3-4 months or so MSFN isn't accessible from Romania anymore. I can easily browse through a VPN, but I was curious about what happened. I thought the website was gone.

DOS requires a FAT partition to boot. Win9x requires DOS. The VM image would have to be a booted DOS session with NTFS support already loaded. Focus on getting this much working before adding Windows.

"C:\cacert.cer" is just an example of the path where the certificate could be placed. Choose the one you want. BTW, after running the command the certificate will be in your certificate store, so you can delete the downloaded file after. If that was the case the update would say that it didn't apply, not that the root certificate is not trusted (I think).

That happened to me in Windows 7 when also trying to install recent .NET updates. I think W7 actually received some update about outdated certificates as opposed to Vista. I solved it by importing a MS certificate that Vista and 7 don't ship with. http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/4/8/248D8A62-FCCD-475C-85E7-6ED59520FC0F/MicrosoftRootCertificateAuthority2011.cer Run the following command with Admin rights to install it (replacing the path with the one where you downloaded the certificate) certutil -addstore "Root" "c:\cacert.cer"
