On decommissioning of update servers for 2000, XP, (and Vista?) as of July 2019

[Dave-H]

OK, you sold me, I'll give it a try!

I've been using ProxHTTPSProxyMII for a long time now, and always been very happy with it, but I'm also very happy to look at alternatives.

For revoked Certificate Update "rvkroots.exe" Microsoft download (http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=41542), unzip to a folder (e.g. with WinRAR). In "rvkroots.inf" the entry in the string VERSION should be changed to "5,0,2195,0" and the VER entry changed to "005". The next step is download the "http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/disallowedcert.sst" and paste the unzipped folder and replace older file. Then with e.g. (Create Self-Extracting Archive) WinRAR all files in the folder to an archive option SFX with the following comment:

TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Setup=Rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection rvkroots.inf,DefaultInstall

pack and you have a current update for blocking unsafe Certificates!

 

The link above works for me.

Sorry, that was my error, I edited my post when I realised.
I was looking for disallowedcerts.sst as I thought that's what the file was called!

@Dave-H Fine. I've added my HTTPSProxy's config.ini so you can use that or compare it to yours.

Why not merge them?

@ExtremeGrief I could do that but I didn't. If you want to merge it's up to you. I did it my way as Frankie Boy would say (or better sing). Don't say other people what they should, could or have to do. If you want to do it "better" do it by your own!

@maile3241 If there is no such file then it doesn't matter. Copy patched file in both folders and well done! Restart computer and check whether both files are still there. And then 

This dllcache folder does not exist!

[Dave-H]

Are you sure it's not just hidden?

@maile3241 A normal Windows XP Professional system has a folder to backup system files to restore them. This is the dllcache folder. In most systems c:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\. I really don't know  what kind of system you have. In my dllcache folder there are currently 3426 files. If this folder doesn't exist in your system create one and copy your patched dll into. No more I can say. But you didn't mention if now SFC is disabled and copying of wuaueng.dll is working after this long procedure. Oh @Dave-H is right. Probably you have hidden your system files. Change it in explorer.

I can call up the folder via cmd but explorer doesn't show it.

@Dave-H I know and that for a long time. And therefore I asked you if I were allowed to upload HTTPSProxy due to the fact that @Thomas S. hadn't been here for a long time and he is the author. What do you think? You are a Super Moderator and I think you'll know if I am allowed to or not.

I can't imagine that would be any problem, but if in doubt you could always attach it to a PM.

 Do I now have to copy the patched sfc_os.dll to dllcache?
