    I totally agree. Check if all steps of this "Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE" have been performed properly: Perform and verify each step!

    Some times ago I made an iso image containing all updates of Office 2007 and 2010 by using WSUS Offline Update from www.wsusoffline.net. So I do not have to download all updates via MU if I want to install one of them.

    All these problems with Microsoft Office, especially endless searches of Microsoft Update, incompatible updates and so on, made me stop installing Microsoft Office packages on Windows XP a long time ago. I use Softmaker Office 2016 Portable with all available features. It's totally sufficient for me. If I had to use Microsoft Office in Windows XP, I would install Office 2007. Older software is often a better choice in an old operating system.

    You're welcome and, if I can, anytime again!

    @heinoganda's cacert_Updater.exe contains three files: CERTUPD.bat (batch file containing several commands), HTTPDL.exe (downloader) and URLLINK (file containing download-link of cacert.pem). After examination I found out that the downloader HTTPDL.exe doesn't do its job anymore i.e. the downloader couldn't connect to the server targeted in download-link of URLLINK. Therefore I have updated HTTPDL.exe to new version which is working properly again in Windows XP. Is that detailed enough? Anyway, thanks for your interest!

    Hi to all and especially to @mina7601, As I posted above and confirmed by @mina7601, the cacert Updater of @heinoganda's ProxHTTPSProxy packages doesn't work anymore. Applying the file cacert_Updater.exe leads to the message "Roots Certificates could not be updated!". I have analyzed this problem and could fix the file cacert_Updater.exe. Now it works in the way as it should be. Here is a download-link of the new version of cacert Updater in form of a separate archive: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uf20arawpbuiz2y/cacert_Updater_Fixed.7z/file Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    Thanks for your quick reply! In this case bad news are good news for me. I already thought something was wrong with my system. On the other hand I would have been a little surprised too. Usually my system works like a charme. But as advertised I will try to fix that if I can, and I do hope so.

    Welcome to the forum! This thread is about restoring access to MU or WU in Windows XP (Windows 2000 and Windows Vista too). If you only want to introduce yourself, then it's the wrong place here. You can do that there: https://msfn.org/board/forum/76-introduce-yourself33/ Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    Can any of you confirm that @heinoganda's cacert_Updater.exe in his ProxHTTPSProxy packages doesn't work anymore? Yesterday I tried to update cacert.pem and I got the message "Roots Certificates could not be updated!". I'm interested to know if I'm the only one having this problem or if it's the same for you. And if so, then I would be inclined to fix the problem.

    Of course, a lot. My recommendation is the freeware XMedia Recode for Windows XP SP3. This is the last release for Windows XP: https://www.xmedia-recode.de/en/download_xp.php More recent versions are not XP-compatible. Another option is WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. Here is a giveaway link: https://www.winxdvd.com/giveaway/dvd-ripper-holiday-giveaway.htm. Additionally you can use AnyDVD if you have problems while converting, but you have to use Google for getting a link, and it's commercial software. Hope it'll be what you are looking for.

    If your error code is still 0x80072f78, you have missed a step in my linked guide. Check if all has been performed properly, or better, do all step once again by verifying each step! The error code you have posted above has nothing to do with HTTPSProxy. Presumably one or more steps are missing or haven't been performed successfully.
  12. AstroSkipper
    This configuration looks fine. I can see in your screenshot a WU update notification shield. Is access to MU web site now working for you?
  13. AstroSkipper
    Comments can generally only be understood as they were written. In your case without any reference, therefore my answer is absolutely logical. Unfortunately, we are not clairvoyant!
  14. AstroSkipper
    These urls you have to use for accessing MU: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en or http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?g_sconsumersite=1. The url www.update.microsoft.com has to be listed under Trusted Zone with security level to high.

    What is "open proxy"? Please be a little more specific! If all is done completely, it'll work in Windows XP in any case. Did you really do any step of this guide?
  16. AstroSkipper
    The term UPX is a shorthand for the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables. @heinoganda had used this Ultimate Packer for eXecutables to generate exe files. Some Anti-virus scan engines (especially at VirusTotal) raised an alarm and erroneously reported that it would be malware. Therefore he had made a version without UPX too. So it's up to you what you want to use, the UPX or noUPX version. I do not use Windows Server 2003 or 2000 but IE6 is presumably too old accessing https web sites successfully using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy. Which proxy did you use? Afaik you have to run the proxy in your host system if your Win 2000 installation is in a VM. But @maile3241 could know that. He is a Win 2000 user too. Ask him!

    Great! Congratulations! You did it. So, does that mean my posted guides have helped you? If so, I would be pleased about any reaction to my guides by liking or upvoting. Cheers!

    Thank you very much for this information! Very interesting! I did a short Google search and can confirm that openssl-1.1.1 includes support for TLSv1.3. Here is a link to openssl.org: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2017/05/04/tlsv1.3/

    You're welcome! Spontaneous formation of a team of MSFN members to solve problems is great indeed.
  20. AstroSkipper
    If that is your complete list of performed steps, then some steps are missing there indeed. For example applying Tls 1.2.reg. installing latest Windows Update Agent 7.6 and so on. And what is ProxHTTPS? Maybe you mean HTTPSProxy. I recommend doing all steps again. Step by step, following my guide. And install ProxHTTPSProxy's or HTTPSProxy's generated root certificate in Trusted Root Certification Authority under account local computer. So, a lot to do. If you have questions relating to MU, ask in this thread. But if you come in trouble relating to one of these proxies, post your problem in my thread https://msfn.org/board/topic/183352-proxhttpsproxy-and-httpsproxy-in-windows-xp-for-future-use/ Regards, AstroSkipper

    By the way my "Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE" as well as my "Final fix of error code 0x80072f8f while accessing WU or MU web site" are tested instructions and definitely complete. If all is done carefully and properly, it will work in any case. If not, then there is a problem in your installation generally.
  22. AstroSkipper
    Describe extensively what you have done so far! Normally if all instructions of both posts have been performed properly, you shouldn't have any error codes. Therefore you missed a step. Check all steps again! PS: @WULover refers to these four updates: KB4467770, KB4019276, KB4493435, KB94228-V3. Install them again!

    In my article "ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use" you will find the solution for error code 0x80072F8F. Look here and have fun:

    Hi, at first read carefully my "Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE" in this post: If you have trouble with ProxHTTPSProxy, then you can find everything about it in this post:

    Hi to all, I have updated the content of my article in first post. Due to the fact that some of you had problems when running ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy in older systems I have examined the correlation of crashes with the SSE2 capability of a CPU. The current results can be found in sections Prerequisites and Versions. Furthermore both versions of Root Certificate Updater have been updated and are now of 02/24/2022. Regards, AstroSkipper
