KB4493730 has no special requirements as far as I know (I always install it with the first batch of updates with no problems what so ever). The only requirement that it might have obviously is SP2 but this is integrated in the ISO anyway. I would check your iso if I were you. Maybe download the one that Captain said just in case. Oh and btw I have done countless installations on VMs so this doesn't matter either.
I do a clean install and update of Windows Vista SP2 64-bit using the normal method. Many of the people here do a clean install and update using the VM method. It is my guess that is why they experience various issues which I do not experience.
I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate sp1 x64 on my old Gateway sx2110g and all went smooth, Followed the guide to the T, no problems at all except I always activate after It is all done in case I have to do over.
I'm glad to hear the current install and update guide worked well for you. I heard a long time ago that there can be update issues when an operating system isn't activated, so that's why I activate mine early in the process.
Nope ， still keep inactive at that moment ~~ and so glad to hear one of my friends get the same Status: 0xc0000428 today Lenovo ThinkPad with Windows 10 system I guessed it's virus cause this issue ~~~
I have done literally more than 100 installs on VMs of all editions of vista except the basic. Never had problems that weren't related to the updates themselves. I have done also a few installs on actual laptops, I own 4 thinkpads from 2012 + an older toshiba and all had/have vista installed on them, as dual or triple boot, also with no problems. Something else about the VMs. Any virtual machine is nothing more and nothing less than emulated hardware. Since the emulation is happening under the hood the OS is not even aware that its whole world is a lie. So as soon as your drivers are in order and your ISOs and update files are in order you shouldn't see a problem that you wouldn't see also on a real machine. In fact you are always less likely to encounter problems on a VM than a real machine. You see driver support for vista was notoriously bad and obviously there are no updated drivers for vista the last 5 years at least (and who knows in what condition are the laptops that you find in the closet gathering dust) while the drivers on the VMs (virtualbox at least) are being updated/checked frequently. Personally I don't like guessing so much so I would rather test and verify. Don't blame the VMs for the weird problems please. They can be a great tool for testing with the last step always taken on a actual machine. In fact by doing the whole thing on an actual machine you are just inserting another fail-factor in the equation so you should better be sure that the thing is working on a VM before you try on physical machine.
I don't think it's necessarily to discuss VMs & physical machine here specifically in this forums let's just say something how to make Vista more stable or smoothly ~~~ Come on, tastes differ.~~~ right here right now I strongly stand on CaptainSpeleo's side as an internal IT service in the last 10 years ~~ I would like to do any Windows system + debug on physical machine~~ test for the most compatibility ~~ VMs just for macOS Mountain Lion
Hi all , just kindly let me known Did anybody installed all （Vista 、2008） updates successfully in Sysprep audit mode. ?
There appears to be a February 2023 IE9 Cumulative Security Update and a Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008 64-bit. As soon as I have the time, I will do a clean install of Windows Vista SP2 64-bit and then go through the entire update process. If all goes well, I will update steps #19 and #20 and #34 of the current guide: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...s-vista-sp2-64-bit-beyond-its-eol-date.83461/
KB5022835 and KB5022890 are the 2 updates that I was referring to in post #651. I have already created a new .BAT file for updating IE9. I will probably do a clean install and update of Windows Vista SP2 64-bit before the week is over.
Hello Captain! You could point out to ExtremeGrief's script here which will install any IE9 cumulative regardless of kb naming or mum versions. The downside with this is that it will expand everything you have in the same folder so it has to be run from its own folder. I can probably add few lines at a later point (unless ExtremeGrief is faster than me xD) so that it copies itself on its own directory before expanding Also you could point to my post here for anyone who wants to understand what is being changed with every new update so that they can learn for themselves. Also @abbodi1406 fixed the datastore problem that we had. You can point as well to his post for the people who would like to follow this route and detect the latest SMQR update as well.
xrononautis: The .BAT file that I currently use in step #19 is the same one that you patiently taught me how to use. These are the 2 files that I currently have saved in its own folder for my next testing. I have already changed to the new update(KB5022835) and mum(6.0.1.1) numbers in the script. Is ExtremeGrief's script used in the same manner as yours? I previously tried using what abbodi1406 has posted, but it did not work, so I must have done something wrong. I am not an expert with scripts, so you guys need to be gentle with me.
You might not be an expert on scripts but who cares, you have done a very nice work putting all those things together! Also its not my script I just adapted it for the current version back then. I think originally I found it in mfsn forum. Btw I am also not an expert or anything like that I just have more time to spend on this. ExtremeGrief's script doesn't need adaptation with every new IE9 update. It will work right away no matter what (IE9) update you are trying to install. The problem is that it won't stop there. It will try to unpack and install every msu that you have in the same folder from what I remember. So if you are going to use this one you need to make a folder put inside the update and the script and then run it. The script that I posted I meant it only as a reference point so that people can see and compare the two versions in order to learn how to adapt them themselves.
Thanks for your reply and explanation. The only 2 files that I keep in the same folder is the IE9 update and the script. I have used your script several times, and it has worked fine in getting IE9 updated. I will try out ExtremeGrief's script when I do the next clean install and update.
