Disagree.
There are systems that don't have blocks.
Why should the ISO be pulled for those users?
Doesn't make sense.

It's only blocked for particular hardware/software combinations. That list of 'blocking issues' may be growing as new issues are discovered, but it's not a blanket 'block' yet. Any machine MS regard as compatible will still see 2004 offered, as I tested yesterday....
My PC was ready for 2004 update, but now it isn't anymore. - post #41Bree said:
Hi,
It's just nonsense to even care what ms accesses
Create a system image to removable hdd
Create winpe recovery media
Test winpe media
Create 2004 iso
Disconnect from the internet
Right click setup.exe and run as administrator
Follow the prompts.
15-30 minutes later 2004 desktop access for yourself what works and what doesn't on 2004.
If you don't like it restore system image.
It's just that easy.
Windows Update MiniTool has nothing to do with installing Windows 2004 on a blocked system.
I'm saying try it downloading the ISO.
Your choice...MCT, Update Advisor, Rufus, Heidoc.
Try installing it on a system that has a block.
Unplug your network connection...whatever.
You will care if you get the warning in the middle of the install that the PC isn't ready, so check that first on the Windows Update screen to save that 15-30 minutes later you were talking about.
It looks something like this -

Give it a shot and let us know.
I'll look forward to hearing your results.
Hi,
Yep you better stick with asking mother ms for everything you do then
So I just gave you the instructions on how to test your "theory" in post #44.
Easy enough to do.
