ERROR: Unsupported Operating System (wxp).

I was hoping that I could keep using WSUSOFFLINE to update Windows XP machines when I reload windows to help me get a head start "loading up" the PC. I've been using WSUSOFFLINE for about three years and have kept up with the local repositories of the windows updates in my WSUSOFFLINE folder. Since I already have the Windows XP updates downloaded before Microsoft announced that Windows XP would not be supported, I was hoping that there was simply some .ini file somewhere that I can edit to ignore the Windows XP Unsupported FLAG. Or maybe this is just a glitch I am experiencing.

I don't use Windows XP as my main PC but I do have it loaded on a few PCs for testing purposes.

Is there a way I can regain the update capability of WSUSOFFLINE for my Windows XP machines?

Use version 9.2.1. This was the last version to support XP. When you run it it will ask to update, don't it will still work. I have recently tested this and all the updates are still available.

Thanks for the replies! I found this answer to be satisfactory:

Remove:

if "%OS_NAME%"=="wxp" goto UnsupOS

from DoUpdate.cmd


And we're back in action!

I don't know what I would do without WSUSOFFLINE :D

I wouldn't do it this way as more code required for Windows XP was removed in wsusou 9.3.
Just use 9.2.1 and you'll be fine.
