That's OK for me. I will stick to it.

That's fine. But at the moment the PM function doesn't work in my system. Anyway MSFN had server problems the last days. What about yours? I think we have to wait a bit.

I have problems too. How about MDL?

I think it's safe to say the PM feature is currently broken for all (it is for me, too, on latest St52); I can't even access my previously stored exchanges... 

@Dave-H , as an admin, could you please ask/troubleshoot this?

@Dave-H will come home only today! He has been away from home for some days.

Already done, but I don't know how long it will take to address.
The PMs were already faulty before the whole board went down on Tuesday.
I've reported to @xperthe board owner that PMs are still down.

I now have httpsproxy and am now getting the same error as @Dave-H. With ProxhttpsProxy it worked without any problems.

Please some more information! Which OS? Did you read the documents how to setup? In your installation went something wrong.

That's in XP.
btw W2k still gives an error that it is not a valid Win32 application.

Of course I told you before. Now I have to work. I will come back later.

If you have another system, you can try running the proxy there.

@RainyShadow Is there a possibility?

[maile3241]

@Dave-H Try ProxhttpsProxy and replace the configuration file and start Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Don't forget to install the certificates! http://i430vx.net/files/XP/ProxHTTPSProxyMII_REV3d_PY344.7z

config.ini

Both HTTPSProxy as well as ProxhttpsProxy are working flawlessly in my Windows XP Professional system. If HTTPSProxy doesn't work for you properly then you'll have done something wrong. At first read the included documents and check your installation! @Dave-H has both installed in his system and they are working as expected except successfully accessing to MU web site. I think there is a misconfiguration due to whatever. We haven't found the problem yet. My provided config files are used in my system without any problems.

I did exactly the steps that were shown to me. I also replaced the configuration file. I can access all websites except check for updates. Certificates are also installed.

Same problem in Win 7 too:
