Further more, if you want update site to display updates in the screenshot with IE6 you'll need to unregister Windows Update controls. web.archive.org/web/20010331172355/http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/7/87.asp Clear internet cache and copy 'New folders' contents to WU folder and with trial and error it should display them.

@WULover Yes, I meant I have the downloaded files. I double checked my archive it actually 15MB not 26MB, 11 MB files are duplicates. @ward201185 I used a standalone installer for IE6 back in 2009. It was that version I used to visit the site from my recollection it worked with both Wks/Srv and what it displayed depended on what was installed. I doubt Embedded was supported. I think the Jan 2005 file works with IE5.x, in IE5.01SP2 it gives me these results in pick of the month with a odd random number update. @mina7601 Thanks Here's the archive. https://workupload.com/file/tJXSdpcE4vs It contains the following. WindowsUpdate folder with the following sub folders. - backup contains only root files of the WindowsUpdate folder - Downloaded manual downloads from Microsoft Download Center - Downloaded2 manual downloads from Microsoft Download Center - New Folder original contents of WindowsUpdate folder with 26MB downloaded cab files. And a crude readme file noting one update didn't appear in MS download centre. I've also included two animated gif files demonstrating IE6 showing updates using the 'New Folder' contents copied to C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate. While checking out these old files I was able to get the latest updates displayed in IE6 in Wks/Srv as you can see from the screenshots. Which helped me remember why I 'temporary' kept those files, back then the site wouldn't work correctly on my system. It would give the stop error but when click the back button it suddenly started working and realised the those inventory files were linked to it. I used it to help me download files from Download Center saved it the those Downloaded folders, when I tried install to those same new updates through site it just fail but when installed updates manually and revisit site the number updates displayed reduce until there was no more. Once I had the update files I needed I meant to delete inventory files but I forgot to.

Hi Everyone, I've been following the post for a while, I have to say it's amazing to see the old versions of Windows Update back after Microsoft removed it all those years ago. My personal favourite was WU v3.1, I vaguely remember the last day it was online, I visited it and got an endlessly looping refresh and low and behold it was gone. I do remember visiting site back in 2009, using it to apply updates to SBS 4.5 setup I had, well it turns out I have some left over files with original MS timestamps. The wuhistv log file time stamp is the original date I ran Windows Update. I think I copied these as it applied the updates since it would delete them once it finished the process if I'm remembering correctly. I used the R1201 folder and changed it to R1150, the files I have give different results. My VM is running NT4 SP6a, Q249863, Q252463 with IE5.5 and Office XP with no SPs. I've attached the files shown, also can anyone please tell me what the file is limit on msfn as have estimated 26MB updates with original modified dates. Thanks, BarelyOnline Files.7z
