You have to check your Windows Update Log to see which file can't be found and why. Edited February 8, 2022 by AstroSkipper addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Vista Sp1, wsus3setup.inf does not exist at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the file version of wsus3setup.inf is incorrect. Search for a version related to Windows 7. Maybe within a normal Window 7 system. wsus3setup.inf is located in folder SoftwareDistribution. But I've never used MU web site in Windows 7 so it is only a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroSkipper Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @maile3241 I've checked the location of wsus3setup.inf once again. The file exists in two folders, one copy is in folder WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate\Default\ and the other in WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WebSetup\. Both files have been accessed by WU. Maybe you missed one location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you missed one location. That is correct. However, the file does not exist in Windows 7. I have already copied the file from Xp to Win 7. Unfortunately I get 0x8007000D. Here are the Windows Update logs from Vista and 7. Edited February 8, 2022 by maile3241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I think using the XP version won't fix it probably. You have to find another version if it exists at all. Did you copy wsus3setup.cat too? Without it won't work. Both files wsus3setup.inf and wsus3setup.cat are included in cab file wsus3setup.cab. Edited February 8, 2022 by AstroSkipper correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both files wsus3setup.inf and wsus3setup.cat are included in cab file wsus3setup.cab. I have made. Does not make a difference. Here the folder WebSetup of Vista and 7.

Sorry, I can't see the mentioned files in your folders. I see only the file wsus3setup.cab in first screenshot but in second one none of them. And don't hide your extensions of files. They are important to have a look at. Edited February 8, 2022 by AstroSkipper addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to be a member? I downloaded KB968730 from elsewhere anyway, it is the SHA-2 update I think? Thanks, but again I already have it installed.

AstroSkipper Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @Dave-H Look at this one http://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?/files/file/10247-windowsxp-kb968730-x86-enuexe/. It's an update of crypt32.dll, version 5.131.2600.5779 of 2009. The version in my systen32 folder is more recent, it's version 5.131.2600.6459 of 2013.

No, everything has already been checked. My guess is that the user agent string is wrong. The same problem also occurs in Win 10 when opening the page via Chrome with IEtab. It works fine in Internet Explorer. Edited February 8, 2022 by maile3241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Looks like KB968730 was replaced by KB3072630, which I also have installed already. My version of crypt32.dll is 5.131.2600.6459, the same as yours.
