Topic: WindizUpdate


  
  WindizUpdate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WindizUpdate is a web-based automatic product update service designed as an alternative to Windows Update.
Its primary difference over Microsoft's update service is that it is compatible with Mozilla Firefox and Opera (web browser) and their clones, removing the need for Internet Explorer and thus Vendor lock-in.
However, as WindizUpdate is a third-party service, there are a number of disadvantages.

 Windows Update - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The WGA system has been cracked several times, at first with a JavaScript line (within 24 hours of its release on 28 July 2005), and later with software.
Most recently some users have ceased to use Windows Update at all, moving to alternate programs that allow the use of alternative web browsers, such as WindizUpdate.
In January 2005, a third-party alternative to Windows Update, WindizUpdate, was made available.

WindizUpdate is a new website, only online since middle Jan 2005 - that is why there is no information on it.  As we have nothing to hide, the Delphi 3 source to the component is available on request, providing that:
WindizUpdate appears to be down at this time, probably because Microsoft does not approve of anyone else handling the fairly complex update process and because WindizUpdate does not enforce WGA and doesn't pork you with the latest crap browser.

There are currently no known websites that will take advantage of the WindizUpdate component.
You'll need to close all web browsers that have the plugin installed; then search your program files folders for the file npupd.dll -- if it finds the file in a plugin folder, simply delete the dll file to uninstall.

 Websites look wrong - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Microsoft Windows Update must, by design, be run in Windows on Internet Explorer.
There are some 3rd party sites that allow access to some updates, such as WindizUpdate.
Firefox strictly interprets the W3C spec for HTML comments; as a result, some of the contents of malformed comments might be rendered.

I was so excited at the prospect of using WindizUpdate within Firefox as an alternative to Windows Update within Internet Explorer, that I showed my complete ignorance of K-Meleon as a browser.
The comments feature of HTMLfixIT is temporarily disabled, but if it were functional I’m guessing that I would be getting a hiding from a heap of loyal K-Meleon users.
Forgive me if the rest of the world already knew about WindizUpdate, but I’m really excited about the prospect of trying it out.

Initially this gave me some privacy concerns but I quickly managed to satisfy myself that it was kosher.
Once you have the WindizUpdate plug-in installed the updating process works pretty much like the Windows Update site itself with separate suggestions for critical updates, other Windows updates and hardware updates.
Apparently there can be a time delay between the time updates appear on the Windows Update sites and when they available from WindizUpdate.

Once again, the choice is there for the user to make.

 What is this IE removal all about?
Obsolete Windows Update (don't make me say it more than once please, I JUST typed "obsolete," didn't I? That means it's the OLD one.
Microsoft would have you install the files on your system and then ignore them because the NEW Windows Update doesn't use these files.) Use Windizupdate instead.
If you want COM and DTC out when you install, edit my SYSOC.IN_ and remove the semicolons in front of these two items.

The biggest benefit is that using nLite I can integrate Service Pack 2 and all the current hotfixes and patches (thanks to RyanVMs Update Addon) into the new ISO meaning that after an install the new Windows system is better secured.
I have also been able to integrate Firefox into my custom Windows XP install CD and completely remove Internet Explorer, and by using the WindizUpdate it is possible to do online Windows Updates using Firefox, Opera, and K-Meleon
There are also many other benefits to using nLite other than simply removing or adding software components, you can also pre-configure just about every aspect of the Windows environment and nLite will wrap all this into an unattended installation ISO image.
