Microsoft Windows Update v3/v4/v5

[WULover]

I hope there is a fix for that, I download the whole pages from wayback machine in all languages...

And, when I use Windows Update v4, it says 404 - File or directory not found for asp files!

@maile3241 Can you pack you Windows Update in a zip and send it to me please? I want to try something with my server

Are you going to move your server to IIS?

[WULover]

It's a Windows Server 2012 server with IIS 8 and Windows Update v3, so yes

So it is already IIS? It seems like a ovh server right now.

Oh! Sorry, I was talking about a virtual machine. My website is a ovh server

Ok. It is sad nobody has a IIS website that they can use to host the files.

[WULover]

Yeah, but I don't know how to host a site on IIS (with a domain name)

I believe you need a free Microsoft Azure account, point that IP to IIS, and then host it on the domain.

EDIT: Or maybe you can just point your existing IP to IIS.

Unfortunately I can't create a zip file because the filenames are too long.

I already discovered the problem, the problem is that the WU4 pages almost all use the GET method, like "splash.asp?page=3" and IIS does not detect the files since they are in ASCII. So replace asp with php and add a conditional for each GET method.

You really think so? Because when you open the page in wayback machine, it gets stuck in the same place.

@WinFX had the same issue with that. Maybe he fixed it.

Nope, and I still don't know why.

We have both v3 and v4 sites but checking for updates doesn't work at all

It does not work because the site connects to M$ server for 9x updates, but M$ already removed 9x updates from the server
