Dave-H Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Ah thanks, I didn't realise that you had to keep the two stores separate or one would over-write the other. I must remember that! The last version of wsusscn2.cab that I can get to work offline with WUMT is the version from November 2019. The next version, from July 2020, which is supposed to be the last SHA-1 signed version, just throws an error message, something like "no signature found". I know some people have had that version working, and I never determined why it didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version of 11/12/2019 is probably the same that you have used from November 2019. Then it works offline with this version but using WSUS server + WUMT doesn't work in your system. Is that correct?

xpandvistafan Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 For anyone wondering, another method has been found on MDL by member owouwu. It uses nginx instead of ProxHTTPSProxy and it works with IE6 in XP, no prerequisites required. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-vista.82336/page-11#post-1724717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, I can use that version of wsusscn2.cab in WUMT using offline mode, but no later versions work, including the July 2020 version which should. Online scans always fail or never complete.

Dave-H Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Is that the same thing that @maile3241has been posting about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is correct when he says it works in IE6 in XP. I wonder though if this method also works on 2000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSUS server + WUMT was the first method which worked without any problems from the first time I tried. 9 minutes ago, Dave-H said: Is that the same thing that @maile3241has been posting about?

Due to this new method, I am considering ending support for my version of Restore_WU and endorse the nginx one. Should I go ahead with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-H Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Well if the new method will work in more setups then yes. I think I'll leave mine as it is though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is use the nginx method on a clean install of XP SP3 and then upgrade to IE8 using the nginx method. Because using my method you need to install IE8 manually.

If I decide to discontinue support, this is what will happen: No more support from me for the product, All download links will be made private or removed, I will recommend you move to the nginx method.

If I had to install from scratch I would use a version which contains all updates until 2014 and therefore including IE8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the original SP3 MSDN ISO file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
