    @Vertaa Which version of the script did you try? Did you run the scripts in sequence? Like 1 first 2 second waves last? mpas-fe are the definitions for windows defender, nothing related to windows update (which is dead for Vista since last April, hence the legacy update server address is added). The filelist.txt are the links of the updates which then is being parsed by the 2-Download-Extract script and then installed by the waves script.

    @dudeluv MSE is beyond the scope of this script which is offline (as in not connected to the internet) installation of updates. This is a tool that helps you download all the updates for archiving so that you have a backup if M$ decides to pull the plug on hosting the updates as well help you install them in an automated manner.

    I cannot upload the updated files because 1.37mb file is to large compressed and its for x86 and x64.

    v1.01.0090-20250114 and 1c-Populate-Full.bat.

    Yes I would like to use MSE though the update button doesn't work. Guess I'll have to learn how to get manually definitions updates.

    Installed and working, thanks for this.

    However, before I did this, I used Legacy Update to get the system fully up to date with all of Vista's updates. In doing so, I've got MSE v4.9.218.0 installed with its EOL message and can't update the definitions. How do I remove this MSE?
    Unsure of which update it was that did this, no option to uninstall from the "Uninstall a program" in Control Panel either.

    Edit: On second thoughts, I'm not sure it is working? It grabbed updates for Windows Server '08 from 2020, but says it can't find anymore? I ran the latest script and all the updates from the script seemed to install without error.

    This script has nothing to do with MSE. You might get more help if you create a topic related to MSE.
