I have downloaded the 9.2.1 file from the archived section. After extracting the files and opening the Update Generator, I selected the following options:
Legacy Products
Windows XP (wxp)
English
Clean up download directories
Include service packs
Include Microsoft Security Essentials
Include C++Runtime Libraries and Net Frameworks
Include Windows Defender definitions
Create ISO image(s)
Start
The Update Generator then created a log file and ISO file successfully.
What do I do to install the updates? I see images on your website of an Installer program, but an Installer didn't download when I downloaded the 9.2.1 file.
What do I do with the ISO file?

Burn it and run "UpdateInstaller.exe" from the CD/DVD you created.

Hey Simon, welcome on the forum.
Like Aker said you have to burn the .ISO file. You can do this with programs like `poweriso` etc.
Good luck with it

Thanks for responding so fast to my question. I ran the Installer and selected the following options on the window.
Update C++Runtime Libraries
Install .NET Framework 4.x
Install Microsoft Security Essentials
Update Root Certificates
Update Windows Media Player
Update Remote Desktop Client

The good news is that I was then able to download Google Chrome and have it install. The bad news is that when I tried to install the SATA driver from Lenovo, I received a message that .NET Framework 3.0 or later is required for the installation, even though
I selected the Install .NET Framework 4.x button.

.NET has two version histories:
.NET 2.0 - 3.5 SP1
.NET 4.x

If you need .NET 3.0, you have to install 3.5 SP1.

The SATA installation error message was "The following application requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or later: Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Please install the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework from Microsoft Download Center to run this application correctly."
I assumed that the .Net Framework 4.x would be the later version and would run correctly.
So, since I have already run the installer with my previous updates, I now should run it again with only the Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 button checked?

Sorry to be so much trouble, but this is all new to me.

Just check the options you need (in this case .NET). wsusou will gray out all options, which cannot/do not need to be applied on the system. E.g.: if IE 8 is installed, wsusou will gray out IE7 (as a newer version is installed) and IE8 (as it is installed) and newer versions (as the don't apply to wxp).

If you are going to burn these updates on CD/DVD, you should try to make a DVD for "all products and all architectures". Otherwise, you may find, that some files are missing, especially for the .NET frameworks. I noticed this once myself:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4485#p14791

The problem is:

• If you select 32-bit updates, the script to create the DVD omits 64-bit updates.
• If you select 64-bit updates, the script omits 32-bit updates.

But some files will be missing from both:

• NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe
• NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-DEU.exe

If necessary, you could try to edit the filter files yourself, e.g. open the file wsusoffline\exclude\ExcludeListISO-wxp-x86.txt and remove the line:

Code: Select all

*-x64*

.NET 4.5.x does not apply to wxp, so it should not be important at this point...
