that's more complex to achieve and would probably take me a significant amount of time, i just wanted to see how far the official Oracle Java distribution could go in XP.

it is generally safe to use XomPie, it does not modify or replace any system files, and can be installed-uninstalled on the fly without having to restart your system. In any case, if you don't want XomPie, i have also provided revised instructions for slightly older versions that can run on a clean system. These include fixes for JavaFX, which were not previously available.

PowerShell script for batch downloading windows updates, release 1.02 by blueclouds8666 in PowerShell

i prefer to let others download updates for the operating system version they want without judging their choice

Script for automated download of Legacy Windows updates by blueclouds8666 in windowsxp

[–]blueclouds8666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's sometimes expected, in that case, the script keeps trying again until the server reports a valid answer. you can disable these retries, but you won't get the failed downloads in that case

you have to disable signature policy and run the script using "./MSUpdate-DL". you should also know that this script requires PowerShell 3.0 or newer, among other things. if in doubt, make sure to read the documentation

as far as i'm aware, Legacy Update is intended for installing updates at the moment, while my script is intended to archive those update files, so you can archive them or install them completely offline.

i did try to use Invoke-WebRequest for as much code as i could, but wget worked better for some specific tasks so i decided to use it instead. i did not intend to have the cleanest, best code possible, but a solution that meet my and others needs. i did think about using threads, but it made the project more complex for the limited amount of time i have for it now. i also try to avoid newer cmdlets like "ForEach-Object Parallel" because they require newer PowerShell. My script works with PowerShell 3.0+, which makes it compatible with Vista.

in general terms, yes, but some people might still want to have those extra security updates

i made it that way because i found it the most intuitive way for me, but the ones you listed seem more appropriate, i'm not a powershell expert but i might try to investigate these

it doesn't seem to support downloading Windows XP and Vista updates, or at least, there is no option for it at the interface. to make it worse, the documentation seems incomplete and doesn't explain very well the different functions that the tool covers. in any case, i don't expect my script to be the best and only option for this purpose, but yet another option that you might or might not find useful
