Legacy Update 1.13 setup initial page on Windows XP

Legacy Update 1.13 improves handling of some edge cases you might run into while using Legacy Update. It includes 23 fixes and improvements (and plenty more small changes).

Some highlights:

  • Windows 7 can now get up-to-date faster, thanks to a new feature that can install the Windows 7 Convenience Update Rollup.

  • Multiple bugs in the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2 installers have been worked around.

  • We no longer install the Windows Server 2008 servicing stack from 2019 on Windows Vista, unless you specifically opt into it. This addresses compatibility issues some users were facing.

  • When enabling Windows Embedded 2009 updates on Windows XP, Legacy Update now hides the notoriously broken KB2686509 update.

  • Support for Windows audit mode has been added. This allows you to preinstall Legacy Update on a computer in advance of it being given to an end-user.

  • “Access is denied” errors are fixed on Windows 2000 (sorry!), and a crash when installing updates from the website on Windows Vista has also been fixed.

See the full, extensive changelog at the release page for Legacy Update 1.13.
