Well, I have applied those changes I mentioned above and that solved the timeout problem in version 10.9.2 too.
Note that I also had to modify the script ListInstalledUpdateIds.vbs so it considers the Wow6432Node registry entry as described here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7085#p24187
@WSUSUpdateAdmin: are you aware of this issue?
After a lot of hard work, I have successfully and fully updated Windows Vista SP2 (x86/x64):
I also have to thank Dalai for the directions about Vista found on his webpage: http://wu.krelay.de/en/Vista.htm
