Important
There is an issue in Windows XP that appears to be triggered by the digital signature on the latest versions of Legacy Update (1.8 and later). This makes Legacy Update setup not run at all, with no error message. You will need to follow some quick steps to work around this.
- Legacy Update is now signed, so you won’t see any more scary warnings about “program from an unknown publisher” or similar.
Code signing certificates are expensive - this cost me $340 USD. I was only able to do this thanks to those who generously support the project on GitHub Sponsors and Patreon. - Legacy Update can now be directly accessed from a regular, non-administrator instance of Internet Explorer on Windows Vista and later. This also means you can use Legacy Update via Internet Explorer Mode in Microsoft Edge.
- Provides better messaging when Internet Explorer has been uninstalled (such as in “E” editions of Windows).
- Fixes Legacy Update setup unnecessarily redownloading updates that are already installed.
- Fixes an error when attempting to uninstall Legacy Update from the Control Panel.
- Hopefully fixes the “Enable Microsoft Update” option in Legacy Update setup not working on Windows 7.
