Finally got the time to create the much requested Update Repository for Vista. I've collected these updates a year ago, but only recently took the time to put them on my Mega account and organize them. It has roughly the same format as my post-EOL repositories, with x86 and amd64 versions. A few highlight points: Most updates come in ".cab" format, because at the time it was easier to manage bulk installations in this format (I was trying to update offline images) Includes hotfixes not distributed through Windows Update. These were collected through a mix of the now defunct MS Hotfix service and the website "hotfixshare". There's some interesting fixes in there. While most of the updates are language agnostic, some are specific to the language I use, Portuguese of Portugal (like the IE9 installer). If you'd like to provide a version for your language, please contact me. To install a ".cab" format update, just run the following command: start /w pkgmgr /ip /m:<path to updates> /s:<temp path for extraction> /l:<path for log files> /norestart To bulk install updates, I usually run the following set of commands: forfiles /p <path to update folder> /m *.cab /c "cmd /c mkdir @fname" forfiles /p <path to update folder> /m *.cab /c "cmd /c pkgmgr /ip /m:@file /s:@fname /norestart" The first command creates a folder for each individual update and the second one installs each update and extracts onto each created folder. Here's a practical example. Say, I have all of the updates from the repository located in my Downloads folder inside my user profile. In this case, I want to install every update in the "General" folder. I'd use the commands above like so: forfiles /p "C:\Users\greenhillmaniac\Downloads\General" /m *.cab /c "cmd /c mkdir @fname" forfiles /p "C:\Users\greenhillmaniac\Downloads\General" /m *.cab /c "cmd /c pkgmgr /ip /m:@file /s:@fname /norestart" I'd recommend you install no more than 200 updates at a time. This can also be used to create an updated Vista ISO for later use (tutorial coming soon™) Anyway, here's the link for the repository

i’ve stumbled on this issue myself (mind you it was before doomsday) but updating my Vista copy up until april 2017 and updating root certificates solved the problem. I hope microsoft would not prevent us from activating our os that we paid for??

... That link also mentions the following: ... so without SHA-2 code-signing support (AFAIAA, this can't be implemented to OSes prior to Vista SP2 and in the latter, packages targeting originally WS2008SP2 are needed ), that method will become a moot one... For the time being, the latest cab downloadable via either http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=74689 http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab is dual-signed on July 14th 2020: so you might want to back it up... I foresee that the next release will only be SHA-2 signed...

Let me clarify a few things. as I've spent several days creating this: - .msu files can't be used to install many updates at a time: those packages include an update scanner (wsusscan.cab) to check applicability, which is run before installing every update and gets slow and slow over time. Svchost also consumes more and more RAM until your system crashes. - .cab files are installed immediately, the check for applicability occurs during install, thus is faster and reliable. - some updates have pre-requisites that require a restart. Because of this, I've split the updates in 3 parts.

W2k3_SETUPLDR_SP2_to_SP1.xdelta3Most of us don't really need/use the WAIK to build our custom WinPE's. So there were always a problem to get the few tools like wimgapi, imagex or the WIM filter drivers. Attempts were made to use httpdisk to download files from inside the WAIK iso, but it was not a good solution as you still need to load hundreds of MB and it requires to install an unsigned driver. You even had to set your x64 Windows in testmode ... But now we came with a good solution: Our tool uses cURL winhttp functions provided by Homes32 to download only the needed bytes for the hugh WAIK ISO's. There is no need for admin rights and you only need to download 4-6 MB per choosen WAIK. For command line: GetWaikTools -? W2k3_SETUPLDR_SP2_to_SP1.xdelta3 GetWaikTools.zip

Sadly, this came too late, but please try it. It's based on the same AMDXHC driver for Windows XP, but this required just a device check patch. Included are both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) drivers, plus the "switch" driver. - The AMDXHC driver is safe to use and easily installed. - Supports all Intel USB 3.1 XHCI controllers (7, 8, 9, 100, 200 and 300 series, maybe even HEDT chipsets). - "Switch" driver may be needed if you don't get USB3 speeds on Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell (*) systems (7, 8 and 9 series chipsets). To use this, I'd recommend a backup. Open Device Manager -> System Devices -> PCI Bus Update driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer Have Disk -> open the folder containing the HCSwitch driver files PCI Bus will be displayed, continue the installation. When finished, just restart Vista. (*) Haswell should work with Vista 32-bit (x86) only. http://www.mediafire.com/file/1kjhhl0fq1ofc2m The original Intel XHCI driver can be modded to work on Vista, but as this one works so fine, I don't have any plans to do it.

So do you think that the version of WUMT I have needs to be changed? As I said, I've had it for years and it's always worked fine when I've used it, but this is the first time I've tried using it in offline mode. I wasn't aware of a later version being available. I'm pretty sure that the version of wsusscn2.cab that I have is correct. The date of the file is the date it was downloaded, but the signing dates and hashes seem to be correct. What's "MDL" BTW? I can't find anything relevant in searches.

I had a hard time ciphering through it all. I got 4.4.304 installed as indicated, but I'm just confused about why it says not a valid Win32 application, which doesn't seem to be the issue discussed there. These are the definitions we're talking about here, the 64 bit version of which work fine on the same 4.4.304 in Vista. So I'm wondering what's amiss - perhaps the definitions do no longer support XP, in which case what are the newest ones that do work, so I can use those? That looks like a Vista screenshot - I just installed 4.4.304 today and I have the latest definitions so mine is all up to date. I'm entirely aware that MSE will probably never offer adequate, realtime protection, but that's not really what I was looking for anyways. More just something lightweight that was better than nothing, since my brain is my primary antimalware! Of course, if there's a newer version than 4.4.304 that works on Vista still, I'd be open to hearing about it - but it seemed the consensus on that thread was there was not.

That did the trick! I hadn't seen the comments regarding 64-bit vs. 32-bit, thank you it worked! I had examined the reg files closely myself and run various versions of it, but they were all targeting 32-bit in retrospect. I use Group Policy to disable insecure SSL anyways so the additional changes seem not to be necessary, just this did the trick: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"=-

because I haven't check this out when I'm compiling, they're reverted afterwards.

Although I’m a huge fan of strawberry milkshakes, the ones you find at fast-food restaurants have never been very appealing to me. Those really shouldn’t even be called milkshakes, with their fake flavor and pink dye – they’re absolutely not what a milkshake should be. This homemade milkshake is special. It tastes a bit gourmet, but is made with easily accessible ingredients. Ingredients See recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions. strawberries milk (any percentage) heavy cream vanilla ice cream vanilla extract I use heavy cream in this recipe because the cream works as a great thickener. You can certainly leave out the cream if you don’t have any on hand or if you want to shave off a few calories. But really, a milkshake is an indulgence. It shouldn’t be healthy, it’s not a smoothie. In the end, if you want to use only milk, you absolutely can. Just use 1 cup of milk total. In a pinch, you can make a strawberry mycoles milkshake with just strawberries, ice cream, and milk and it will still be refreshing and delicious. If you want to take it up a notch, add the touch of vanilla as called for in the recipe. The vanilla adds a wonderful mythdhr richness to the shake.

Normally you right click on the link and choose "Save as", anyway you can copy and paste the following and save it with Notepad as "vista-tls-1.1-1.2-update.reg" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"=- it is a simple .reg file that - once merged to the Registry - deletes the two OsVersion values. But the issue here may be (see my previous post) that the above is OK for 32 bit systems but for x64 you need other modifications, i,e. this .reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"=- But since they are just a few changes, only involving deleting a value you can do the above manually with Regedit. jaclaz

@dencorso Done! Was about to post this on Win-Raid, but I believe this forum has more Vista diehards!
