Hi,

I'm running on WinXP x64 SP2 and have installed all available updates (+ie7,
mp11).

Now when I start windowsupdate over Tools->Windows Update, the following
site is opened:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/de/default.asp
The search for update is quitted by an fault (no description).

Normally, the following page should be opened:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx%3Fln=de


Can anybody help me???

This just happened to me, too, after loading all updates.

Hey guys....
same think with my system...
Windows x64 Professional...

Windows-Update function keeps kicking me on V4 instead of disered
V6....

Intermediate Work-Around: Internet Options - Advanced - Reset...
... after having reset IE7, V6-version will show up as usual....?

Have you found out anything, yet?

(cross-post added to  64bit General)


What is the User-Agent involved?  (E.g. use  Fiddler2.)
Perhaps there is something confusing about it which makes WU
assume it is the least capable browser?

Try using a  User-Agent  spoof?   (e.g. ref.  KB923196)

Cross-posting to a 64-bit NG in case this is already a known issue.


Good luck
