Xp sp3 fresh install + full WSUS Xp install requires update

Postby realtebo » 03.01.2013, 23:20

I'm doing some experiment on a virtual box

I installed Xp Pro Sp3 (32bit) OFFLINE.

The I run from my real pc, WSUS 8 Update Generator, against Windows Xp.

I downloaded ALL, than I installed ALL into my (Virtual) Xp OFFLINE

When I turn Xp online, I went to microsoft update, and microsoft update tell me that an update to microsft update itself was required.
Why ?

That's most probably the ActiveX applet which handles the Microsoft Update website. It is neither required for the Auto-Update nor is it security-critical, thus it isn't included in the catalog file WSUSOU uses to determine updates.

It's completely normal that the MS Update applet wants to update itself once you first use the MU website. Only Vista and beyond are fully powered by the Microsoft Agent.
