I keep a winxp vm around for some old games. Many of the download links at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025687/microsoft-security-advisory-4025685-guidance-for-older-platforms https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025687/microsoft-s... , especially in table parts 2 and 3 for winxp go to 404 pages. Also, ie for winxp does not seem to be able to even open the windows update website any more. Any tips?
- chrisper 9y agoJust download it normally and move it to your VM through network share or whatever.
- sp332 9y agoHave you tried manually installing SP3 first? I remember an old PC I had to troubleshoot wouldn't install anything else until I had that.
- mrighele 9y agoI tried to install Xp in a VM a few weeks ago to see if I could run a few old games. The iso I had was for XP Sp2, and I couldn't find a download link for the Sp3 installer on the whole Microsoft site. Links from search engines become "the file is no longer available" or something similar
- 0x0 9y agoYeah, I'm sure it has SP3, and I think also all the regularly issued windows updates up until EOL. Anyways, it looks like more updates are coming online now. Perhaps they published the links before publishing the linked pages.
