@WULover I am stuck at where it checks for updates. It gets stuck there, because there is a file called actsetup.cab that doesn't exist and it isn't archived, how did you get it?

You are using Windows 2000?

 

And, @WinFX, I can't restore Windows Update v3 for other systems than 2000. In Fiddler, I don't have any requests to a .plt file or a .cab file.

I am trying on 95.

I am trying on w95 too, but it doesn't work. I don't have any requests to a .cab or .plt file.

I tried with a nt4 .cab file, and it gets further and installs the activex control, but it gets stuck at ident.cab. 

I am also having an issue where the hosts file entry is not working. When I go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com it goes to fe2.update.microsoft.com.

Try with this controls: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dSiMExp0Wh4pgD-e6IHwmSJyhzx313F5/view?usp=sharing

There are the actsetup.cab for Windows 2000, 98 and ME. Use the 98 one for Windows 95 and NT 4.0. And fiddler shows OSDET?

Nope, it shows only control.htm

With this folder, do you have any updates in Windows 2000?

Show me a screenshot of your fiddler log

@WinFX My Windows 95 installation requests ident.cab, is that required as well?

Use the command that I leave you below, it will help you a lot with the lack of files as well as in the trial and error tests of searching for updates:
