I have updated the script with a check (thank you Abbodi1406!) before trying to install any msu. This will lead in much faster passes in case that only few updates are missing like it happens every month. @TesterMachineOS version 0069 of the script still has the links to previous updates in case that you need to stay in a cumulative update prior to 2023. @xmr2 Somehow I missed your suggestion about adding the pass in the file name I will do it at some point tomorrow. Also I realized that I had forgotten to update the link for the .net 4.6.2 repack so it was still the January one. Now it is fixed.
So, I've installed Vista Ultimate X64 with SP2 Nb-no, MSDN. Installed USB drivers and SATA. Wiped all other systems off. It's running off EFI/MSR/System partition, where the system partition is 250GB on an SSD, properly alligned. First I used Windows Update Legacy, The AIO pack for VC and .net. Used Windows Update Legacy and updated all packages.

I am a bit unsure regarding what you are doing there. 1st: You are trying to update a Norwegian sku (jeg likker norge men det har kommer ikke åt fungera). This whole update for vista works only for skus with server edition available. I never tried anything with versions other than english. 2nd: Are you on UEFI bios? Vista don't support uefi as far as I know. 3rd: I don't know anything about Windows update legacy tool. 4th: Which visual cpp redist aio? Adobbi's own supports vista up to version 0.70 if I recall correctly. The list of updates that you mention is inconsistent. I see at least 3 updates that are important and missing from this list. Notably kb2117917, kb2763674, kb4493730. Without the first one IE9 won't work. Without the second some applications won't run since app signing will fail and without the third you won't be able to install further updates. What I can suggest you to do is use the script to only download the updates and then install them manually one by one and see what update is causing you problems.
I am installing Windows Vista X64 SP2 nb-no MSDN with all the updates available. I did a fresh reinstallation again yesterday. 1: It has installed a bunch of updates, see log here. Can't post links. I am truly sorry for the long list of 172.

Then it complained about language packs not being available (ESU updates). Would donwloading the english language pack and use that work around this issue (Not sure if there is one) ? After two of these messages it told me that it was checking windows update, ram spike and what not, then the window closed. Normal behaviour? I'm installing the English MUI pack now and will attempt to retry. The English language file is 1.5GB. If that works, might be worth adding to the script a check that a person needs/lacks the needed MUI? 2: UEFI & CSM. Vista installed as UEFI with UEFI file. AFAIK, it has supported it since sp1. 3: legacyupdate dot net 4: It was not Adobbi's and I think that is why it failed. Thanks for replying No updates made troubles for me this time. Edit: No errors this time. Installed a new PKG, WUC 7.7 Said to wait for RAM spike. Second edit: Didn\t work. Booted off ipxe netboot.xyz now, running linux on a ram drive and getting an english version of the same ISO. Checked sha1, it all matches. Going to burn to DVD Hopefully it will work when I try to install it later in the evening. Edit: Clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate X64 SP2 En_US (MSDN). Installed only driver for USB (for mouse) and network. All waves went through, waited about 40 minutes for initial scan until I did one manually, of course I get error code 0x80072EFE. I deleted the software distribution folder and rebooted. Still the same error. Script went 100% through, no errors that I can see.
Have a look here (the posts of the last day more or less). Basically welcome to the club. All of us get the same error code due to the cipher suites for vista not being supported by windows update as of few days ago. Everything else worked fine from what I see. Just update your defender manually with the link that has been created in the root of the scripts. Just note that you are updated up to 2024-03 since I haven't updated the script yet. I will update it once I know more about the cipher suites situation. Also regarding the long list you can wrap it into [ spoiler ] .... [ /spoiler ]. (Remove the spaces inside the brackets).
Oh thank you so much I've been at this for hours! If only I had known sooner.... Thanks for the tip about the spoiler and I'm assuming you went through my log, seeing as you wrote that it looks fine. wumtx64 works for now after I installed legacyupdater (before I installed legacyupdated, it was 0x8072EFE) I am now up and running, proceeding with several more updates!
Could you post what updates you are offered from legacy update after you used my script? You shouldn't see more that april's cumulative updates and maybe 2-3 odd ones. (and yeah I looked through your log)
The script was updated with the updates for May. Remember: The script checks only if you have .net4.6.2 or not and not what cumulative update you have. So you need to run the repack manually for the latest cumulative update to install. The other thing is that I wasn't able to check it against WU for obvious reasons. I will include legacy update probably in the near future although it is not needed strictly speaking since this is meant as an offline updating tool.
It's great, thank you for sharing. It would save a lot of time if x64 and 86 were separated and they were downloaded together.
This would double the effort to maintain the links and would be error prone. Something that I have been thinking but would require the whole thing reworked is to download only the missing updates since the script now detects that (mostly). And yet I recommend every one to have their local backups in which case the script wouldn't re-download files that exist already.
i just tried to do a clean install of vista from disk. i downloaded it - UpdateVista-v0.01.0076-20240514.7z everything installed. but after all the update center didn't work. i went to https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ta-sp2-64-bit-beyond-its-eol-esu-dates.83461/. There I took the file WU_Fix_For_Vista_WS2008.txt from item #21 and it changed the update site in the registry. and after that the update center worked. maybe you should add this file to your script to make the update center work after your script?
Hello! Thank you for your suggestions. About firefox the reason is that the link for the firefox repository can be accessed with IE7 (or what ever version a fresh install has) I am not sure about github but I can check it out at some point (my time is very limited at the moment). After all people will need it only in order to download wget.exe. Ideally I would love to remove it all together since it is out of the scope of the script but it can be annoying on a fresh installation if you don't have any browser since IE7 cannot open the wget link.. Regarding the legacy update I have already tried it in two VMs and I didn't manage to make it work (I will try again with a fresh installation at some point). Although I am not particularly in rush, since it is a bit beyond the scope of the script (which is offline update), it definitely would be nice to be able to confirm that everything installed etc so it is in my todo list. If you have any ideas as to why my VMs failed to update with legacy script let me know
I hardly have enough time to maintain the links in the script for the time being. I would maybe be interested in the future but no promises. It does look great though What will take time is to copy all the links from M$ and test it. Once everything is downloaded in your hard drive, installing the updates is like 5 lines of script. Edit: The script is now updated to 2024-06-12
Hi, everybody I have made the installation of updates for my Vista 32 bits with the script version 76 and option 1a. All has well functionning. Great thanks to xrononautis, aboddi ...
Honestly at this point I would use only the full lists. The option 1a used to be the absolute minimum for windows update to work. Now with windows update being offline it doesn't make much sense.
