Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks, that's better. I was now prompted to switch to Microsoft Update, but when i did it said the necessary files weren't registered and offered to do it for me. If I click continue, the window goes blank but nothing then appears to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I tried that, and registering wuaueng.dll. No difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 It just immediately redirects to the fe2 address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the three mentioned sites may be listed in your Trusted Zone. Otherwise http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en will be blocked. "Trusted Zone to high with only these three urls related to MU: http://www.update.microsoft.com, https://www.update.microsoft.com and http://update.microsoft.com. Disable in IE settings "Check for server certificate revocation"." And once again your problem is most likely caused by a not properly working Windows Update Agent. I will post a more detailed procedure published by Microsoft later. Edited January 27, 2022 by AstroSkipper correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 OK, I ran the cmd file again, and got this. Presumably this is because the cmd didn't stop the Automatic Updates service. I assume the file manipulation should happen on reboot. It has made a difference, on reboot, trying Windows Update again gave this again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Actually I've just noticed something. My WU7.6 installation file, which I've had for ages, is 6.47MB. Just in case I looked for another download of it, and the one I've got now is 9.27MB. I'm now wondering if I've got an out of date version. The file version information is no help at all of course, but my archived file says it's 6.2.29.0, the one I've just downloaded says it's 6.3.21.0.

Of course the Windows Update Agent with file version 6.3.21.0 has to be installed. This is the version I have. Install it with command option: WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x86 /WUforce. Then install Restore_WU_XP_2003 again. No reboot at this time. Then do following steps of Restore_WU_XP_2003's install.cmd manually: adding registry entries by importing via reg file if necessary but injecting wuaueng.dll in any case. Then reboot your computer. Try MU again. P.S. No more further editing. I swear! Edited January 27, 2022 by AstroSkipper correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 OK, I did that. Absolutely no difference I'm afraid, same error message. I guess maybe I should do the whole process again now I have the right version of WU 7.6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
