max-h Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) @Usher : I know, the signature tab is missing. Little question of license/Service pack : I wanted to test French XP ISO with SP2 to see if I still had the 800b0003 error. So I went in search of an SP2 iso. I finally found the home edition N. The installation is going well and when I (normally) have the OOBE, I will land to the welcome page with the famous message telling me to activate windows, as if the 30 days had passed. What I don't understand is that I also have an SP3 home ISO and I have no problem, I have the normal activation delay. Could be a particularity of SP2? Because it seems to me that I already had this problem on an old PC, I had bought a so-called "new" SP2 home CD and I had the same message... as if it had already been activated. Or it's because the servers are unreachable? And before you ask : ISO is genuine. EDIT : I found the problem : just after network configuration, the system makes a request to download the certificate of revoked keys : Bad news : I downloaded French XP Pro SP1 iso and trying July 2020 version : it's works. BUT if i install the SP2 the error reappears... and same with SP3 of course. So there would be a problem somewhere with the files from SP2 and SP3? The most frustrating thing is that I kept testing other languages and all of them worked. I have not tested languages other than Latin because it is not understandable.

Dave-H Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 And yet I'm sure there are people with fully POSReady patched SP3 machines who report that the July 2020 cab works fine! This is really strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntMD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Seems that microsoft cracked down on updates like win7 SP1 from the download center. the catalog is still intact, though. (or have i slowpoked on that one?) Edited September 5, 2020 by IntMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-h Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Microsoft cut a few days (or hours) ago I don't know precisely, the self-update of windows update agent. This means that WUMT will display "class not registered" until we manually update the agent. It's really the end this time. Fortunately, I found version 7.4.7600.226 as standalone package : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/946928/information-for-network-administrators-about-how-to-obtain-the-latest As indicated, there is no standalone package for version 7.6.7600.256 but 7.4 works well.

Dave-H Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Believe it or not, I've just been offered two updates for Office 2010 through Automatic Updates, with a yellow shield in the system tray, after weeks of it repeatedly saying in the Event Log that it can't connect! I immediately went to the Microsoft Update website, and it successfully scanned for them and installed them, so it's not quite dead yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VistaLover Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the info, @Dave-H Someone over at Microsoft must have (temporarily, I bet... ) turned back on the SHA-1 endpoints for Microsoft/Windows Update, perhaps solely for the sake of delivering these last few Office 2010 updates on XP/Vista users ... I can also confirm that WU[SHA-1] is currently (Sept 26th 2020, ca. 01:35 UTC) back on Vista SP2 32-bit: Since I have installed SHA-2 support last October, I am currently on Vista build 6.0.6003; hence, I get offered nothing by MU/WU (but, OTOH, I don't think I have anything missing as far as Vista SP2 up-to-EoS [April 2017] updates are concerned... ) ...

cc333 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 When I tried to run WU on my Latitude D630 earlier tonight, I got a BSoD :/ Probably just a coincidence c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigTex Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) As of today (26 september 2020), the windows update for xp and vista (and maybe 2000?) is working. Grab them while you can Note: the wsusscn2.cab is still only sha2 signed Edited September 26, 2020 by TigTex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc333 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I got the yellow shield this morning! (9:37 AM Pacific) I feel like I should get Vista installed somewhere so I can update it. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting last August, the WSUSscsn2.cab file is being signed by M$ ONLY with a SHA-2 code-signature, high chances are it won't work with WUMT under XP ; it certainly chokes here under Vista SP2: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-h Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) This is why a blank Windows 7 started to find updates again. I didn't understand why. Here is the answer. And I confirm that it works also on XP EDIT : Windows 2000 is ok too Edited September 26, 2020 by max-h 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
