Posted: Tue May 27, 2014 6:40 pm
from Getting XP updates
POSReady 2009 is based on the Windows XP kernel and get updates until 2019. I want to know, if i can apply that on normal XP, but i get a error of version mismatch.
So i looking in the update.inf/update_SP3QFE.inf and it checks only some registry entries:
The solution is simple. Create a text file with this content::
Save as .reg file and doubleclick to import it.
POSReady2009 Updates will now install on a normal XP and Windows Updates shows also the updates for POSReady2009
ATTENTION: Use it you own risk! These updates are not tested on a regular XP system and could damage your system
