And how about KB4316682? I don't see it on your list, and I cannot google out if it was superseded or not. I have a problem looking for it, as it was discussed on the board just before "memory hole" hit us.

Never mind, there is actually a lot of information about in on MSFN, e.g. herehttps://msfn.org/board/topic/177500-upgrading-ie8-to-tls-12/page/3/#comments

Looks like search function was not working for a while.

This is a cumulative update, so it is replaced every month, keeping all previous updates. Therefore, it is enough to install KB4493435.

So around 350 files difference.

Do you have full file with all links like before? If you have please share, if you don't then don't create one especially for me ;)

Yes, but I need to recheck it completely, because there are a lot of changes. In a couple of days I will update it.

Here is an updated list of updates with links.

Updates.zip 164.32 kB · 2 downloads

I think that it may be beneficial to create a new topic with all the links listed directly in the post instead of a text file. This way they could be indexed by search engines, and also hopefully grabbed by the Wayback Machine while they are still functional.

I think the list is too huge to be made in the clear on the forum. It has more than 6000 lines, even if you divide them into several messages, it will be problematic to view the page. Because of the large size, I even had to pack it in a zip archive, because the size of the file is more than the allowed 512 KB.

While true, I still think that this is a good option to do for the greater good. Right now, the links are accessible only to those logged in on the MSFN forum. If the forum goes down or something happens to the file, they may be lost forever.

I myself have gathered all the POSReady updates with their respective links available in the MS Catalog from 2010 to now, but have not managed to archive the older links yet. In case of many Windows 2000 (and older) updates, some of them did actually "vanish", and we have no access to the files any more. Only the broken URLs remain. This is especially true for updates for the less popular language versions of Windows.

From new list, I had a problem downloading windows media encoder... the link is broken, and quick googling is showing that the domain you link to expired.

I easily found Polish version on official MS servers, though: https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/download/details.aspx?id=7741

Not sure about the others. Quick googling finds some more things, but this is not full list of programs and patches for all locales, though.

I'm afraid I cannot investigate it more now, need to go to sleep :)

I suppose what you'd have to do is make several consecutive posts: one for each section of the file.

Ran into the same problem. I did find the English version, still available on several free download sites.

Once installed, Windows Update found the required security update automatically, but we don't have long on that....

Ok, few things:

1. I found 8 locales for WMEncoder and fixed link for ENU version (previous one routed to taken down domain):

2. After few iterations and downloading everything from your list + 8 more WMEncoders, I have 5635, not 5695 files. See my list attached:

filescont.zip

There were some files renames:

internet-explorer-7-0 -> msie7.exe
applocale-1-0 -> applocale.msi
WMEncoder.exe -> WMEncoder_???.exe
KB955704 -> WindowsXP-KB955704-x86-???.exe
mp10setup_* -> mp10setup_*_???.exe

5695 + 8 - 5635 = 68 updates missing on your list :)

3. Are we also going for backing up SP2 and SP3?

4. There are some entries that certainly lack some regional variants, f.e. Microsoft XML. Are just links dead and I should try to find them or are there any otehr reasons?

5. Why nearly everything has 24 locales, and SP3 has additional CHH variant?

6. Edit there are no .net packages in your update list, right?

These are 54 updates that I found that are missing according from a clean XP sp3 + posready regtweak

(dotnet excluded)

How about a github repository and everyone can contribute with their findings? Because everyone seems to have some sort of local repository but they are never complete.

I asked the same question regarding Windows 2000 a few years ago, but there has been no definite answer.

There were some files renames: 

Internet Explorer 7 I have already found working links to all languages, so I’ll update the list of updates.
AppLocale I was able to find only a version with a size of 1.23MB and a digital signature with the date June 18, 2003, and in my archive for many years there is a version with the name apploc.msi, the size of 1.32MB and a digital signature with the date June 20, 2003. Therefore, I added my version to the set of updates, because it is newer. If someone can find a link to a version with a digital signature on June 20, I will add it to the list.
WMEncoder I could not find working links, so I left only the English version, but add your links.
Update KB955704 has the actual file name WindowsXP-KB955704-x86-***.exe.
I renamed mp10setup by languages so as not to get confused when I downloaded, but when I sorted by languages I forgot to delete, I will correct it.
Links to SP2 and possibly even SP1 can be added.
Microsoft XML is only in those languages to which I have given links.
Why there is SP3 for the CHH language, but there are no updates for it, only the MS knows.
.Net has been installing updates for a very long time, so I use the AIO installer from abbodi86.
