WULover Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Interesting... WU v3 ask for actsetup.cab, but the file doesn't exist... In the engine.htm (the page requested by WU for the product updates) Edited April 30, 2022 by WULover
WULover Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The engine.htm is the core of Windows Update v3, so I will check all the details of this file to know what files are needed. One of the site releases (R1097) have all pages, but wu still doesn't work and stops me with a critical error. It also ask me if I want to download the critical components installer package (the file is attached) Is it not working because I have a french system and I use the english site? Edit: I tried with an english system and it still doesn't work advpack.exe Edited April 30, 2022 by WULover
LonghornXP Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Well, I decided to use the WU v4 catalog because it search for updates, but the non-catalog version, I always got error

WULover Posted May 1, 2022 Author Posted May 1, 2022 Why you want to restore v4? For Windows XP, we can use v6, and for older versions, v3

WULover Posted May 1, 2022 Author Posted May 1, 2022 Windows 95 can't use v4. It can use v3. WU v4 support win98 to XP. Not 95 or NT4.0
maile3241 Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 I can't open the v3 page because it redirects to fe2.
WULover Posted May 1, 2022 Author Posted May 1, 2022 Have you Windows Update v3 files and windowsupdate.microsoft.com dns domain in local?
WULover Posted May 1, 2022 Author Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) This is my server where I host the files for WU WU needs some cab files, but I think they doesn't exist anymore... Edited May 1, 2022 by WULover
