    The Windows Vista SP2 64-bit install and update guide that I mentioned in post #7:

    How To Install And Update Windows Vista SP2 64-bit Beyond Its EOL/ESU Dates | My Digital Life Forums

    describes the use of a script tool in steps #20 and #21 which allows Windows Update to work correctly.

    I have used it numerous times, and it works fine.
