insanekiwi Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) heh. WU broken again. you knew v6 was beta. that's why people should wait until teh final is out. let me try to find some more info on howto fix this... erm did you read https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=291953 Windows Update V6: http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v5a/default.aspx WARNING! It overwrites the V5 version, and there is no known way of returning to V5 after installing V6!

Daninku Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hmm... maybe you have to wait some time, and get the updates manually :pinch: One reason I have not tried v5a (6) was because it overwrites v5, and in case of trouble I can't return. Serves you a lesson for next time ... long long time hehe. Anyways, if I would know something about this, make sure I will post ;) :whistle: EDIT: Nevermind, you solved the problem, glad to here that :blush: :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/292324-windows-update-v6-beta-broken/#findComment-585561860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
