Create a DNS zone in your DNS called v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com, then create a Host Record (A). Enter the Ip of your server at the bottom, then validate and close the DNS.

In IIS, create a new website called v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com (in Site name), and enter this in Host name too.

Set the IP address to "All IPs", then enter the physical path where you store Windows Update, and here you go!

To access Windows Update in virtual machines, type the IP of your server in their DNS settings (this is for the client).

How can you run Windows Update v3, v4?
Are there detailed instructions? Where can I read it?
I want to pull an update link for Win 9x.
I want to archive them - updates and links. While they are available and working.
But I'm not a programmer. I am a sales manager. And I need detailed step-by-step instructions.
Excuse my English, Google translator.

I can understand your google translate english....

 

Ask @WULover,I think he makes it work. and he is the creator of this thread.

Excuse me, does V5 even work with NT 4.0 unofficially?

Nope, v5 only works with Windows 2000 and XP.

Yep, and it send requests to getmanifest.asp.

Getmanifest.asp is the problem.

Weird, I could access V6 on NT 4.0 despite not being officially supported.

And V4?

same. You need v3 to update windows nt 4.0 and 95.

Nt 4.0 got IE6 while 95 does not, that looks like a big difference between those, but still stuck at the same update thing?

Yep, you need Windows Update V3 with IE5.5 to run the site correctly
