Hi Pauline,
Viewer update runs but does not update on XP computer (version does not change).
Host update will not run and Host no longer works since first attempt. (Remote Utilities on two Win11 computers reports that XP computer is offline.)
Remote Utilities Host folder on XP computer contained nothing but Log folder (no current events) following update attempts.
Since my old viewer will not update but is still working (albeit clunkily) I was able to transfer host files, but only one at a time, from a Win11 computer to the Host folder on the XP computer (per your previous suggestion to another user).
But now what? I tried running each of the two transferred .exe files on the XP computer.
One is for an Agent, which I did not complete.
The other (rfusclient.exe) will not run.
There is no Start Host option.
Host is still not running, despite numerous update attempts and numerous computer restarts.
I have not tried uninstall and reinstall as I am afraid of losing what connectivity I still have to this XP computer.

It won't work for me either. These are the messages I'm getting.
The Procedure Entry Point InitializeCriticalSectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
The wizard was interrupted before Remote Utilities - Host could be completely installed.

You computer has been connected in a remote session...

If the message is ALWAYS visible (as it is on my host computer) and never changes, no matter who is connected or not connected, how can that make my connection more secure? Will it suddenly change if some "bad guy" connects? Maybe I'm not understanding the way it works? All I know is it's ALWAYS there and never changes.
Many, many users have complained about not being able to read through the message and you still do not acknowledge the fact. Indeed, you contradict them all. It's kind of insulting.
