5eraph, my sincere condolences. I will check the ricktendo64' update pack (didn't know it). Copy the new DataStore.edb (configured for MU) appears to be OK. The windows update redirects automatically to Microsoft Update, but stills asking me to install the activex. I tried to do this with a fresh copy of DataStore and another copy of this file having click on "Customized Updates" (the DataStore.edb increases the size) with no luck. (both of them configured for MU) I will continue to do some test... Thanks a lot. Since you're doing this after Windows has finished installing I'll need to improvise. You will need a Datastore.edb file that is configured to use Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update. You can find one in ricktendo64's update pack, or download the following file extracted from his pack. Datastore (Spanish locale).7z To use the file: Extract the Datastore.edb file from the 7z file above. Open a Run window, type "Services.msc" and Stop the "Automatic Updates" service (or whatever the translated Spanish name may be for that service). Copy the Spanish version of Datastore.edb you just extracted into the "%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore" folder. Now Start the "Automatic Updates" service you just stopped. Alternately you could use the following commands using the Spanish service name instead of using the Services.msc GUI: net stop "automatic updates" copy /y datastore.edb "%systemroot%\softwaredistribution\datastore\" net start "automatic updates"

Hi submix8c: In my unattended DVD of Windows XP already have these components: 1.- WGA components (Installed after first Administrator logon through WPI) => 892130.exe and 905474.exe 2.- WU components (Installed after first Administrator logon through WPI) => WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe (7.4.7600.226) 3.- BITS (Not sure but i think it's included with any other update) 4.- MU => This is the incognit (the redirect is doing by the vbs script posted earlier.) 5.- Added others Critical Windows Updates (until May 2012) (Instaled at T13-stage) I think everything is installed OK. After installs a copy of my unattended DVD, If i go to Windows Update webpage trough IE (not asking for install and activex) and check for updates (Customized) there aren't any available critical updates. (wich seems OK). The problem is when i run the vbs script (to redirect WU to MU and tells Automatic Updates to check in MU instead of WU), and go to Windows Update (automatically redirects to Microsoft Update) trough IE, it asking me to install the activex. I Will continue to do some test to see if i fix the problem. Thanks a lot for the reply.

Yes, of course. But don't work. Stills ask to install the activex....

I follow these steps: Download the cabs, copy dll and mui files to system32, register two dll's. When I open Internet Explorer and go to "Security - Windows Update" the WINDOWS UPDATE web page opens, and let me to choose what type of installation i want (Express or customize). What i want is when i click on "Security - Windows Update" the MICROSOFT UPDATE web page opens, instead of WINDOWS UPDATE. => To do this, i execute a vbs script (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa826676(v=vs.85).aspx). (I think this script downloads muauth.cab from Internet and set various regkeys, of course the script tells to the Windows Agent to use MICROSOFT UPDATE instead of WINDOWS UPDATE to download new updates.) I would like to do this without Internet connection (trough copy files or regkeys), but this is not imporant so far. When i registered MICROSOFT UPDATE (trough vbs script), and opened "IE - Security - Windows Update", the web page opens and forces to me to install and ActiveX (Microsoft Update ActiveX), I do the steps says 5eraph but IE continues to forces to install the Activex. Is the anyway to skip this Activex, or to install manually or to do something so when i open MICROSOFT UPDATE web page let me to choose what type of installation direclty (Express or customize)? PD: This afternon i will try the other methods to see if it works PD2: Please 5eraph, send me the steps to => "Use Microsoft Update by default instead of Windows Update, further steps are involved which I'll detail if you'd like" Thanks a lot.

Hi all: I've tried to install manually the "Microsoft Update Activex" with no luck. I enter the "Microsoft Update" webpage and i would like Internet Explorer not offers to install the activex control. Is there any way to install this? Thanks
