I can have a look on pae patch + updates at some point. In the mean while install LPP and SSU before the initial scan as Extreme said. If you have already installed them delete the Software distribution folder, restart and then repeat the initial scan. Even then choose option 1 and then option 2. (Option 2 will timeout but normally I get it working with the second time). Option 3 never worked for me on x86. Also 3.5GB of RAM + 4GB of Pagefile always did the trick for me. Even on x64 the RAM peaks at around 5GB.
I also recommend first installing all the "Update for Windows Vista" before any other updates, as they may fix issues, considering the OS is released 16 years ago
That´s what I had thought as installing .NET 4.6.1 is listed at the start of your guide. Nevertheless, installing the bypass seems to have done the trick. Never thought of it but I should have done as I´ve been using it for W7 for over 2 years!
xrononautis: Both URLs were slow in displaying those 2 files, but they both downloaded fine. Step #2 in the guide has been updated with the new URLs. Thanks.
ExtremeGrief: I wasn't able to download that root certificate update in Windows 10 because Windows Security aka Windows Defender flagged it as a threat and deleted the download. I'll try to download it again after I reboot and switch to Windows 7, unless Microsoft Security Essentials also flags it as a threat.
I have no idea why it gets detected as malware, as I created the app via iexpress.exe from Microsoft themselves on a Windows XP x86 SP3 Virtual Machine. Can you try to disable Windows Defender's Real-Time Protection?
Temporarily turning off real time protection to download the file won't do any good. As soon as I turn real time protection back on, Windows Security will detect the file and delete it. Update: I switched to Windows 7 and downloaded the file. Microsoft Security Essentials alerted to it being a threat, but it gave me a choice to keep it instead of deleting it. I'm going to change the file extension before saving it in Windows 10 and then see what happens.
Windows 10 will not accept your root certificate file, even after I change the extension from .exe to .old. I wonder of there's something in the contents of the file that Windows Security doesn't like. I'm going to stick with the 2 current root certificates for now.
@CaptainSpeleo I will try to find a better way to make a root certificates update as it seems Microsoft Defender falsely flags it as malware.
Just use mine Certificates installer created using WinRAR. Works great on all system, no AV hangs. And you can update it in 1min to latest version
ExtremeGrief: Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 7 and Windows Security aka Windows Defender in Windows 10 both flag your 02-2022 root certificate as a threat. MSE in Windows 7 will allow me to bypass the threat and save the root certificate file, but WS/WD in Windows 10 automatically deletes it. If you can find a way to resolve that issue, that would be good. George King: I am not aware of your root certificate installer, so can you provide a link to it? You would need to explain to me how to update it when the time comes.
It´s here Open it with WinRAR then you see all needed info for updating Code: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/root-certificates-update.84847/#post-1718811
