    Oops, I didn't realize you've been doing your test installs of Vista in a virtual machine environment.
    I've been doing my test installs of Vista in the normal manner.
    My Dell laptop has 2 separate SSD's so I can do test installs on both Vista and 7.

    Thanks for including the IE9 registry file for TLS.
    I deployed it and IE 9.0.270 now has these settings:
    TLS 1.0
    TLS 1.1
    TLS 1.2
    I have all 3 selected.

    Today is "patch Tuesday", so a new Security Only Quality Update was manually installed:
    KB5007246 - November 2021

    There was no update(s) for Internet Explorer 9 or Servicing Stack Update.

    I saw it, but after I downloaded and saved it, I wasn't sure which one in the list to select.

    Update:
    KB5007150 was the correct one.

    @xrononautis To make your script easier to modify, you can make a variable that you can change only once.

    @echo OFF
    :: Insert KB Number here
    SET KB=kb5006671

    mkdir .\tmp
    expand.exe -f:*Windows*.cab *%KB%-x64*.msu . >nul
    expand.exe -f:* *%KB%-x64*.cab .\tmp >nul
    start /w PkgMgr.exe /ip /m:"%cd%\tmp\package_2_for_%KB%~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum" /quiet /norestart
    start /w PkgMgr.exe /ip /m:"%cd%\tmp\package_3_for_%KB%~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.0.mum" /quiet /norestart
    del /f /q *%KB%-x64*.cab
    rd /s /q tmp
    EXIT

    You're right. I made a script which should work, if someone can try it.

    MKDIR "%~dp0\tmp"
    FOR /F "usebackq delims=|" %%F IN (`dir /b "%~dp0" ^| findstr /i windows6.0-kb`) DO COPY %%F "%~dp0\tmp"
    CD "%~dp0\tmp"
    EXPAND -f:*windows6.0-kb*.cab *.msu "%~dp0\tmp"
    EXPAND -f:* *.cab "%~dp0\tmp"
    FOR /F "usebackq delims=|" %%F IN (`dir /b "%~dp0\tmp" ^| findstr /i package_2 ^| findstr /i .mum`) DO START /WAIT PKGMGR /ip /m:%%F /quiet /norestart
    FOR /F "usebackq delims=|" %%F IN (`dir /b "%~dp0\tmp" ^| findstr /i package_3 ^| findstr /i .mum`) DO START /WAIT PKGMGR /ip /m:%%F /quiet /norestart
    CD %HOMEDRIVE%\
    %HOMEDRIVE%
    RMDIR /S /Q "%~dp0\tmp"

    The script will unpack and install every update beginning with "windows6.0-kb" in the folder where the script is ran.

    BTW, does the guide work fine for Vista updates? I just install them in the order?

    But there are like 130+ updates, you will have to download all of them manually.

    Damn. I think you can make an app like Simplix for Windows 7. Or I can make a batch script to install all updates one by one. Problem would be that some updates have dependencies though.

    I can make a script to install all updates offline, with auto restarts and update order.
