Unfortunately, everything he did to fix it, I've already tried, in some cases several times, and it didn't fix it! By the way I have to tell you that the last time I had reinstalled Windows XP Professional was in 2004. Most of all errors I fixed in my system by myself. I hate errors and I have to get rid of them.That's my philosophy. Since 2004 I used constantly images to restore system partition only if nothing helped. Maybe that is a reason I've got some certificates and files in my system you do not have.

I mixed up the date with Windows ME. I've checked my earliest image and it must have been created in 2004 but it doesn't exist any more. I had deleted all old images below Service Pack SP3. So my earliest version is of 2009. It had been a long time ago. Sorry for causing confusion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to need a file called wsus3.inf from Windows XP from looking in the log. I copied the file over, and now I get a different error. I am using Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made me doubt now. Maybe you really used it before. I already recommended it some posts before: Edited February 6, 2022 by AstroSkipper correction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maile3241 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just now, xpandvistafan said: Windows 7 Professional SP1. I get exactly this error too. But I don't know why. It only works in Windows 10/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maile3241 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 @xpandvistafan It works in Windows Vista RTM and Sp1 with ProxhttpsProxy. But the search fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the search fails because it is trying to connect to the old discontinued endpoint. Have you installed the Server 2008 SHA-2 Update? I believe it changes the endpoint to the new one.

I did download it then, which is why I recognised the file's icon, but I can't remember whether I ever actually used it. Certainly everything that it does was checked and implemented manually anyway.

In addition, the Windows Update website no longer works with SP2. Edited February 7, 2022 by maile3241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maile3241 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 @AstroSkipper I have a slightly more specific question. I accessed the Windows Update webpage in Vista using ProxhttpsProxy and it works fine. But as soon as I install Service Pack 2, I get the error 0x80070002. The same error occurs in Windows 7 as well.

Have you tried replacing the wuaueng.dll? What version of the Windows Update Agent do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put a lot of effort into replacing the wuaueng.dll file and adding the regitry entries. Lo and behold, it works. It doesn't actually make much sense to get updates in Vista via the website, but I really wanted to try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
