    UPDATE [22/5/2014]: Sebijk reported that a simple registry tweak is enough for WU to show the latest POSReady updates on Windows XP. This method has been tested and works on any XP build.



    Add the following registry keys (INF Format):



    HKLM,"System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WindowsEmbedded\ProductVersion","FeaturePackVersion",0x00000000,"SP3"

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS","Installed",0x10001,0

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\WES","Installed",0x10001,0

    HKLM,"SYSTEM\WPA\POSReady","Installed",0x10001,1



    and restart the computer. Then run WU to get the latest updates.



    ORIGINAL METHOD:The latest Patch tuesday updates have been easily ported to a Windows XP virtual system - fully updated until April 2014.



    The constraints are entirely artificial. Porting is easy as 1-2-3:



    1. Modify update.inf file and remove the



    condition=CompositeOp,OrOp,Prereq.XPInstallEmbedded.Section line



    from the Prerequisite section.



    2. Use a patched update.exe version 6.3.13.0 or later to accept the modified update.inf file. Update.exe files differ between various languages.



    UPDATE: Instructions on how to apply the patch to any language can be found here:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171814-posready-2009-updates-ported-to-windows-xp-sp3-enu/?p=1078363



    3. Compress to SFX EXE file. Delta compression optional.



    I have already uploaded the files at RyanVM.net...



    So Windows XP can have semi-official support until 2019! [​IMG]
    Should i do this?

    I receive monthly updates for XP SP3 x32 hack POSReady since 2014.

    July 2018 was the last month of updates for SSE processors such as PIII and AMD Athlon XP. No notice has been given by Microsoft. If your processor is SSE, do not update ever again because it will block the computer.

    @ wyxchari, I choose not to do any registry hacking for pos ready, I am satisfied with my security measures, :)
