Dave-H Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well none of them have ever caused me any problems, with the single exception of one that messed up the font rendering, which was quickly replaced by a fixed version. I would say go for it, but it might be better to do them in batches rather than all at once with that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD73 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Wow! What a fantastic site this is. I'm super happy to have discovered it and extended the life of what was an excellent running PC. Special thanks to hmuellers for his easy to follow instructions for setting up and staying current with the patches! I just finished running them all and it went amazingly smoothly! The only issues I had were both from the 2 downloads from the WIndowsupdate domain. NDP20SP2-KB3074546-x86_B00E38544466254F6C7314127D2F658078C9D53A.exe NDP30SP2-KB3072308-x86_DF948B25BC71432E5CADE81A55E0840A833B8BDC.exe Each time I ran those two I'd get the following message from my browser no matter what OS I tried downloading from XP / Win 10 / or Linux Any help to get those would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for such a fantastic resource!

dencorso Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The message is telling you the truth: the connection is really non-secured (nor does it need to be secure).The problem is you are using "https" instead of "http" !!!If you see that message again, on trying the links below, is because your browser is adding the final "s" on the "http" address. Highlight just that "s", delete it and hit enter, and the file ought to download OK.

pcalvert Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hi Dave, Thanks for the advice. I installed all but the most recent ones -- the six updates that were released within the last three months. So far, so good. Now I guess I'll make an image backup of the OS and then go ahead and install the remaing six updates.

submix8c Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 You may want to look back and find the KB fix that messed up the font rendering. Somehere buried in MSFN (this topic?) is his post about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I can't remember which one it was, but the discussion about it is in here somewhere!IIRC someone patched it, but that eventually turned out to be un-necessary as MS released a fixed version themselves.If you've installed all but the last few months worth I'm pretty sure that one would have been in there as it was quite some time ago now.If your fonts are OK, i wouldn't worry!

bluebolt Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It’s no longer a concern (the problematic update having been replaced), but here’s where it begins: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171814-posready-2009-updates-ported-to-windows-xp-sp3-enu/page-10#entry1094216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD73 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks HMuellers! I think that'll save some other people in the long run. One other request I'd throw out there. And I think some else has brought it up once too, but adding the dates to the files that manually need to be downloaded will go a long way to help keeping track of the files we've already installed as we move forward. Anyway, thanks again guys. This is a terrific community of people united to keep XP going long and strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Installing now.Thank you for the update! How about manually porting the new .net framework into xp as well as they did with dx10?It would be really helpful.

heinoganda Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) @5eraph Thanks for the info, but at the date of publication, an error has crept in, who was on 2015/12/08, according to Security Advisories. @all Now To date, in each case an update for the .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 is missing.

dencorso Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It's possible last month's missing .NET Framework 2.0 update will turn out to be in this month's collected updates .ISO (KB913086), just as it has happened in the recent past. And maybe this month's missing .NET Framework updates, in next month's collected updates .ISO, and so on. ... one can dream, can't one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
