VPC2K7 = Virtual PC 2007

TinyURL = http://tinyurl.com/287fx8

TinyURL = http://tinyurl.com/3a5aa2

I'd want the very first item, "Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language
jdk-6-windows-i586.exe 53.16 MB", but you can try the second if you're on
limited bandwidth and don't want to include all the languages.

Note that you MUST uninstall all previous versions for safety's sake and to
prevent confusion. Do that from Add/Remove Programs, then also delete the
Java folder from C:\Programs Files -- THEN install the download.

The most likely reason that I can think of is that you are not using
Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which is required.

Thanks Brian, this isn't going to be easy or pretty at all. I've done
all the advise from everybody in this thread except Gary's 53 meg
download of Sun Java 6. In the mean time I've installed IE 6.00 SP1,
Sun Java 1.5.0_11. I've uninstalled MSJVM, SunJava 1.5.0_07 and retro
graded WSH back to 5.6.6625 by customizing the installation inf file
for scr56en.cab for IE6. All these in some form or another done so
attempts could be made to find out what is the one thing that makes a
difference and there is none so that you would notice. None.

Sometimes I can get to WinUP, sometimes when I get to WinUP it shows
text based site and/or fully/partial standard site graphics. If I
leave the standard WinUP site instance open and open in a new window
of the Catalog site, then I stand a much better chance of not getting
the V6 - kiss off page in the new IE window. But I also can get text
based Catalog page or rarely a normal looking Catalog page. BUT it
doesn't work, when I click on 'Additional Windows Updates (1)' which I
know to contain only Games.cab file, the text for it won't show - All
I get is a non-working Read More link and the Add button.

I've noticed lately that sometimes I get the same sort of text based
looking knowledge base articles. I had a week of troubles when the V4
WinUp and Catalog site first became active but none at all since then
until I tried it again yesterday. No solution for now I guess, thanks
again.

Just trying it now to see what the fuss is about, and everything works fine
for me Lee, and so I'm not sure what you are seeing? I wish I could.

The only thing I notice is that it is really, really slow this saturday
morning (11:00 am) when clicking links to respond there, otherwise
everything does show up.

I see it has these things available even though I don't need any:

~~~~~~~~~~~copy/paste~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Critical Updates and Service Packs (78)

I wish I could see what you were getting since it's hard to visualize what
you are seeing, but I know one thing for sure, you need to have a few
things in your Internet Zone Options set right or it won't work.

make sure you also have each one of these options set Enabled ! ..or it won't work right!

~Run ActiveX controls and plugins

What is the page you &/or Brian A. see ultimately in the Address Bar,
after you click any of these-- which all USED TO work for me-- but NOW
they all redirect to that thanks.aspx page...!?!...

"START button, Windows Update". That is a shortcut to
"C:\WINDOWS\WUPDMGR.EXE". For me, that button USED TO briefly flashe...
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
....then, redirect to...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

They are all over the place, really. Another is at "START, Favorites,
Links, Windows Update". It USED TO go to...
http://windows.microsoft.com/isapi/r...indow sUpdate
....which became...
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default.htm
....& finally...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Also, "IE, Tools, Windows Update" USED TO go there!.

Now, EVEN...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp
....will just keep redirecting to that thanks.aspx!

......EOQ................


Interesting...
Did you check and see if you had that registry key that Brians link alludes to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion
\Internet Settings\User Agent\PostPlatform (watch linewrap)
...and delete it, even though it's suppose to be only for 2k/xp ..but if you have it, delete it,
as per this article...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~copy/paste~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem Description:
When going to the Windows Update Web site located at
windowsupdate.microsoft.com, the page immediately redirects you to
v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/thanks.asp, which says "you must be running a
Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update." This occurs if both a third
party firewall and the built-in Windows XP firewall are enabled at the same time.

Resolutions:
Please delete the following registry key. Be sure to export this key to a safe location first.
(watch wrap)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion
\Internet Settings\User Agent\PostPlatform (watch linewrap)

This may be resolved by uninstalling the third party firewall.

The system administrator may have made changes to your corporate firewall/proxy that will not allow
Windows Update to operate properly. Please contact your system administrator and have them
identify Windows Update as an excluded site on the firewall/proxy.

Issue Applies To:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



What is the page you &/or Brian A. see ultimately in the Address Bar,
after you click any of these-- which all USED TO work for me-- but NOW
they all redirect to that thanks.aspx page...!?!...


I go directly to this page the first time:
https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
... but you know what - I don't see that it matters since no matter which link of yours I try, it
works every time.


"START button, Windows Update". That is a shortcut to
"C:\WINDOWS\WUPDMGR.EXE". For me, that button USED TO briefly flashe...
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
...then, redirect to...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

They are all over the place, really. Another is at "START, Favorites,
Links, Windows Update". It USED TO go to...
http://windows.microsoft.com/isapi/r...indow sUpdate
...which became...
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default.htm
...& finally...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Also, "IE, Tools, Windows Update" USED TO go there!.

Now, EVEN...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp
...will just keep redirecting to that thanks.aspx!


Every single link you give I click on a it brings me to the same place, except for you last one
here brings me to the Welcome to Windows Update Catalog page..but that's all part of the same
process so it still is working.

It must be something on your units that WU is detecting that's not on ours that is kicking you to
that page - it has to be something simple - check that registry key given above and delete it, or
it has to be something else simple and we just need to isolate it...

....Okay Hiro Nakamura.... smile

Default ThankYou Mac page at WinUP site?

ps... about that registry key mentioned to delete...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion
\Internet Settings\User Agent\PostPlatform

Well it can't be that since I just did the reverse and set it and/or
deleted it (even though there were no values in it and was blank) ..but
with that folder key in place or not I still get in.

You know it has to be something even more simpler than that I think.
Although I sit behind a Netgear NAT router and a ZA software firewall if
that changes anything, but I don't know why it should.

...btw, C:\Windows\Windows Update.log shows this (watch the wraps)
