    Unzip it, go to the folder and double-click RunMe - MakeInstallWindowsUpdateAgent.bat.

    It will download, MS, the files needed to create the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256/257 and then install it. The files that it contains are 100% Microsoft. He uses just a few third-party tools to make it.

    I had to reinstall Windows XP service pack 2. I went to the updates and got this message. The website has encountered a problem and can not display the page that you are trying to view  I tried several times and got the same results.

    The problem is that you need to install Service Pack 3 before being able to get all post-SP3 updates. :-)

    Here's what you need to do:
    Preliminary work:

    Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

    3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

    5 install MSE.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

    7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.
