You need to rename the .txt file you downloaded to end with .bat, so it can be executed. Don't rename any MSU file if the guide doesn't say it.
Hello, I've never commented here, but often visit this thread. I can confirm that this method doesn't work on Vista 32-bit if option 2 (patch as Server 2008) or option 3 (patch as Vista + Server 2008) is selected in step 22. Tested on real hardware, an error code 8007000e (out of memory) is displayed (DataStore patch is applied). When checking for updates, the memory usage goes up gradually. When it reaches ~95%, an error code shows and immediately almost all memory usage is gone. I have 4GB RAM. What I tried: classic theme, ReadyBoost, changing paging file to processes instead of programs. Result is the same. Option 1 (patch as Vista) works correctly.
It doesn't integrated in roll-up? Mean IE will not be updated then. I much saw example how is to windows 7 in server 2008 R2 mode ESU updates.
MatiHalek: The guide is created and is kept up-to-date by testing Vista 64-bit. It is also tested with a "normal" install of Vista. It is not tested with Vista 32-bit. It is not tested with a "virtual machine" install of Vista. If Vista 32-bit is used, or if a "virtual machine" install is done, I cannot comment on whatever issues occur.
Yes, x86 will not work https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-vista.82336/page-17#post-1883162
