I've been trying to use this on Vista, I downloaded the update package ok I think and started to run it.... It seemed to go ok until it got to "Listing ids of missing updates (please be patient, this will take a while)..."

It stopped there for over 12 hours... then I re-started computer and it automatically went into the WOUTemp account and automatically started the updater again. This time it quickly got to "Listing ids of missing updates (please be patient, this will take a while)..."

I left it like that for over 30 hours but nothing happened.

I want to either fix this... or probably now better to just remove the automatic logging into the WOUTemp account, and remove the automatic starting of WSUS updater and I think I will not bother with the updates as I just use the machine for simple tasks mainly offline.

Anyone can tell me please how to sort this problem?

Thank you!

Hanging "Listinging ids of missing updates":
MS really messed up the catalog file. So there is no really solution, but a kind of workaround.
[Note: not all updates may exist for Windows Vista, and some of them my already be superseded and won't install; just skip them]
1) try installing the updates listed here [you'll have to search for the Vista version as these are the the Windows 7 ones]: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5366
2) install the updates listed in .\client\static\StaticUpdateIds-wupre-w60.txt
3) reboot
4) try again
