Any ideas? slightly stupid idea - if it would actually depend on the files from the windows update agent, then maybe hexedit them to replace each instance of old url to the new one. similar to the trick used to get msn clients connected to custom servers. not sure if this would just be enough, but still.

Actually, it has nothing to with the WU Agent. Except for the WU site url, there is no hardcoded address. The WU site provides the Agent with the "service" url. Maybe we could setup a local proxy with url forwarding? I'm not used to these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinFX Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have discovered that fe2 and www have different IP's fe2: 13.83.149.5 www: 40.90.247.210 Perhaps editing the hosts file Windows Update will work again in Windows XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinFX Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Unfortunately it doesn't work, I get a date error in the certificate (0x80072F8F), and when I try to go to https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx, in IE8 I get a certificate error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope microsoft would not prevent us from activating our os that we paid for?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc333 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 This is all I get whenever I try running Windows Update on my Dell Latitude D630 running a fully updated XP Pro SP3: c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinFX Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Windows Update worked for me today with this method: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wua_sdk/using-wua-to-scan-for-updates-offline The downside is that it only checks for updates, it doesn't download or install them.

Condor.07 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 for windows 2000 and XP just use Windows Update MiniTool (Offline) and download all updates ... The problem remains with Windows Vista ... I tried them all but found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link also mentions the following: Quote WUA validates that the Wsusscn2.cab is signed by a valid Microsoft certificate before running an offline scan. Note In accordance with our SHA-1 deprecation initiative, the Wsusscn2.cab file is no longer dual-signed using both SHA-1 and the SHA-2 suite of hash algorithms (specifically SHA-256). This file is now signed using only SHA-256. Administrators who verify digital signatures on this file should now expect only single SHA-256 signatures. ... so without SHA-2 code-signing support (AFAIAA, this can't be implemented to OSes prior to Vista SP2 and in the latter, packages targeting originally WS2008SP2 are needed ), that method will become a moot one... For the time being, the latest cab downloadable via either http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=74689 http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab is dual-signed on July 14th 2020: so you might want to back it up... I foresee that the next release will only be SHA-2 signed... Edited August 8, 2020 by VistaLover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 So has anyone got this cabinet to work in WUMT, because it won't for me? Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. I'll upload the july copy that I have mentioned before. But beforehand (just to be sure), have you tried the existing one you have with WUMT gotten from MDL? Couldn't even open the app downloaded from the mirror in majorgeeks so if you have downloaded from here, make sure you download from the original source.

IntMD Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 https://www.techtalk.cc/viewtopic.php?f=1047&t=4211 Seems that somebody also scrapped update links, both the ENU and the ones for your specific language. Also has somebody archived the links from OP (mcinwwl?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think that the version of WUMT I have needs to be changed? As I said, I've had it for years and it's always worked fine when I've used it, but this is the first time I've tried using it in offline mode. I wasn't aware of a later version being available. I'm pretty sure that the version of wsusscn2.cab that I have is correct. The date of the file is the date it was downloaded, but the signing dates and hashes seem to be correct. What's "MDL" BTW? I can't find anything relevant in searches. Edited August 8, 2020 by Dave-H Addition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
