Windows Vista Client unable to fetch updates from LegacyUpdate server

[reiyua]

Hello!

I've been using LegacyUpdate a lot recently to get some old Windows laptops going from ages ago and has been working VERY well until I attempted to run your software on an old Windows Vista based Compac Laptop named "Presario V6500 Notebook PC", specifications below:

(Not entirely sure if this user manual will help at all, but is the ONLY information I could find for it online: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01078025.pdf )

The overall installer when installing things such as Root Certificate Updates and Service Packs did have some issues aswell, but they seem to be easily resolved by a simple reload of the setup file and continuing the install that way.

After completing the installer, all I see is this:

Not sure if the Update History would help, but here is a screenshot of it:

This was completed using version 1.9 of the software.

Cheers in advance for any help you can provide!

on vista it just takes a very long time, just let it run for awhile

Also forgot to mention, Windows Update no longer works either, just has the same issue as the main LegacyUpdate homepage.

I'm gonna close this support ticket, surprisingly, using the in-built Windows Update installer instead of the LegacyUpdate website WITH LegacyUpdate installed works fine...

I have a feeling it modified the update servers in the end

TLDR: Problem solved :)
