    Default Get XP updates still

    This is a little hack that will give you updates that uses the Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 based on Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    This Windows Embedded POSReady was done for those that paid and us this type of XP (restaurant machine etc)and for those that have paid for updates still..(companies)

    Long and short. 1Open note pad .....2add this text below .......3save as a .reg For those cannot...most have extensions hidden.

    Open My Computer >Tools>Folder Options >View> uncheck Hide extensions of unknown file type>apply>ok
    Now make the file..save as text ,than rename as a .reg file .

    Once you have it as a reg file..double click it to run it . Done ...now check for updates .

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001

    It is very possible that you may have not made the file proper .
    32 or 64 the same

    Double check that your settings for changing extensions are set . When windows ask ...that means it does not recognize the file .

    Should be .reg in most cases the period is not there . After changing the file to reg it will a pear as

    Make sure that when you do updates that you select the custom mode and then do NOT ALLOW the Authenticate download to install as this will stop the update procedure.

    I have a different reg. update code listed below. Just be careful what you use and as usual backup before:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\WindowsEmbedded\ProductVersion]
    "FeaturePackVersion"="SP3"
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WES]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001
