Guest John Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 RE: Duplicate KB Numbers: KB917344 Sure - MS has screwed up on their website, just joking! Have you tried clearing your browsers cache? 1 : Click on Tools and click on Options 2 : On the 'General' tab, click on 'Delete Cookies' and then click on 'Delete Files'. Note: IE7 users, click on 'Delete...' 3 : When that is done, reset your: Security Zones Privacy Settings 4 : Make sure your cookies are enabled. Are there any error codes? (e.g 0x066A) -- A story of success always has a beginning.

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: Duplicate KB Numbers: KB917344 The first is the entire Windows Script package, the second is a Security update for JScript. It appears that the version of Windows Script 5.6 is now at 5.6.0.8831 That's the same version level for the JScript update shown here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-023.mspx So, in conclusion, one only needs to install the Windows Script 5.6 posted on 8/28/07 It would be nice if MS included that info on the Download Center page, wouldn't it ? <w> MowGreen [MVP 2003-2007] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== John wrote: > Can some knowledgeable guy/gal explain to me why Ms has released two > different items under the same kb numbers: > > Windows Script 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000 > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en > > > JScript 5.6 Security Update for Windows XP SP1 and SP2 (KB917344) > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d28c02be-cac3-4579-9b93-939fd5d3cde6&DisplayLang=en > > > What is the order of installing thse two items.
