Guest Mart Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 For those who need to know - and are still interested - the Windows Updates for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU site, in spite of being out of Support by some 18 months. Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) and all 10+ Critical Updates/Service Packs and 45+ WinMe updates (inc. some 34 language fixes) are there. Using broadband, it wasn't very much slower than using the MS Security CD (2004) and all (seemingly) installed in their correct sequence. Let's hope that MS keep them available for a few more years yet. It would be a shame to pull them for the sake of a few hundred MB or so of web space. Have noticed also that the KB articles for WinMe have recently been pruned somewhat, but at least support is still there. Thanks MS - please don't abandon us altogether. Mart
Guest Mike M Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe > Windows > Updates for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU I've been keeping my eye on the WU site for a while now, in fact ever since the "can't help, you're using a Mac" episode earlier this year. I've got an "out of the box" clean install of Win Me (on a virtual machine) that has never been updated and have got into the habit of firing it up and checking WU with it every couple of weeks or so. > Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) Oh dear! I thought it was only me that had that sort of misfortune. I hope you didn't lose anything too important. > Have noticed also that the KB articles for WinMe have recently been > pruned somewhat, but at least support is still there. Thanks MS - > please don't abandon us altogether. This is something that is particularly annoying me. Fortunately I've got a 2005 copy of the KB installed from TechNet on this box so can see the old articles even if they have been withdrawn. What I don't understand is why some very very old KB articles still remain whilst some needed by those running Win Me have gone. -- Mike - disc in post Mart <mart(NoSpam)@nospam.nospam> wrote: > For those who need to know - and are still interested - the Windows > Updates for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU > site, in spite of being out of Support by some 18 months. > > Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) and all 10+ Critical > Updates/Service Packs and 45+ WinMe updates (inc. some 34 language > fixes) are there.

Guest Joan Archer Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe That's worth knowing as I still have the WinME box here that Kelly used and I now keep for storage and for John to use if he has problems with his XP box. It's never had to be re-installed though and has all the critical updates that were made available for WinME before support was stopped.

Guest webster72n Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Mart: Don't know whether you remember it or not, quite a few months ago Gary S. Terhune (hope to get the name right) made two CD's available for the participants in this news group, for all the '98 and 'ME Updates and the Windows Security Updates. Correct me if I am wrong, but those were supposed to include 'all the necessary Updates' to my understanding. I secured the two CD's for myself at the time, in order to be prepared for enventualities. Harry.

Guest Mart Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Yes Harry, I was aware. But I was just alerting folks to the fact that they are still (currently) available on the MS WU site, especially with the recent pruning/modifications/rationalisation of the KB and the fact that WinMe is now some 18 months out of Support time. And, a plaintive plea for continued consideration by MS - assuming they still read the WinMe NG's! Therefore for those who were thinking of doing a 'Clean Install' of WinMe, - for whatever reason - now *might be* a good time, especially for those other folk who weren't aware or hadn't got a copy of Gary's CD's. Unless MS continue their unofficial support of course! > .. I secured the two CD's for myself at > the time, ..

Guest Mart Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Indeed Joan, had it not been for the failing HDD, I probably wouldn't have been too bothered and just 'settled' for WU advising that my previously working installation was 'up to date'. I guess it's called 'Peace of Mind'!

Guest O.J. Newman Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Hello Harry! How does one obtain the 2 CD's of Win 98 and ME updates from Gary? Do I just email him at: http://www.grystmill.com/ ? Also, I thought I read that Shane Beatson also had a CD set. But his home page of http://website.lineone.net/~shanebeatson/index.htm seems dead now. Thanks, O.J.

Guest Mart Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Reapa wrote :- > Yo, any chance I could still cop a bootleg of those CD's. etc. You can download all the files - and subsequently make your own CD - as follows :- Instructions, courtesy of Mike M -- From the Windows Update site. If you don't want to install them immediately but want to download and install them later, perhaps on another PC, then use the link to the Windows Update Catalogue on the site. This link doesn't show by default and you have to add the link by selecting in the left hand pane "Personalize Windows Update". Now in the right hand pane check the box "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalogue" and then click "Save Settings". Now select "Windows Update Catalogue" in the left hand pane, and then when the right hand pane opens, use "Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems", then select Windows Millennium Edition and the correct language then click Search. You can now select which patches, etc. you wish to download and they can then be downloaded and saved to your hard disk. -- Having saved the downloaded files to your HDD, then you are in the position to be able make your own CD (even if you have to move them to yet another pc with a CD burner) HTH Mart <snip>

Guest Reapa Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Re: WU v4 for WinMe Thanks to everyone. Actually I knew about the update catalog option. Problem is..the updates wouldn't show up on my xp machine. That new v7 really screwed up my access so that's why I was looking for some set disks as a hassle workaround. Guess I'll whip up my ME vhd and see what we get via that route.
