MS Security patch doesn't "take" with successive scans

September 27, 2007

Running Win 98 SE,

Upon visiting the Mocrosoft Windowns Update site, it scans my systems

and says I need:

"Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1

(KB837009)"

I do use OE (version 6.00.2800.1123), so I click on install, and it

goes "through the motions". No reboot required...

I scan again, and I get the SAME result, I need:

"Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1

(KB837009)"

I check my installation history, and it indicates the Update was

successfully installed!

I re-install, and rescan, same result! What gives??

It could be these three need to come in, in the following sequence...

(a) Q330994

(b) Q837009

And, "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Install/Uninstall tab" for me

shows... Outlook Express Q823353

....but it was Outlook Express Q837009

....& before that Outlook Express Q330994.

....I never took Outlook Express Q887797, which also could be involved.

Do you have any of the three/four? Then, uninstall whichever is in

there, & go see what happens at Windows Update. That might be the full

cure, but I guess visit the site yet once more afterwards.

I think you want to end up with at least Q837009. But I have Q823353, &

Glee was once considering it.

Re: MS Security patch doesn't "take" with successive scans

I'd recommend getting your IE issues straightened out first. (And I thought

you'd said the machine /was/ fully patched at Windows Update?!)

OE Help > About > Files: What versions of MSOE.DLL, INETCOMM.DLL and

DIRECTDB.DLL are listed here (e.g., v6.00.2600.1234? (If you posted here

using OE instead of Google Groups, I'd know this already.)

I downloaded update KB837009 and ran it "offline". It stopped and

told me that it was OE6 SP1 and won't install, seems I only have OE6,

not SP1! Wonder why the update site thinks otherwise.....

My add/remove list has "Microsoft Oultook Express 6" and "Outlook

Express Q823353".

The pasted link didn't work, but I managed to poke around microsoft's

site for the update file.

Wow! That appears to have worked!! Thanx!!

I can't find my MS-DOS manual, what did the "double space"/N:V do for

the file?

MS changed the download location since I composed my canned reply. The

current link is

YW.

/N:V means no version checking

That command basically tells Windows to ignore the fact that any other

cumulative update for OE are installed. Long story about that screw-up and

it took us a while to figure out how to resolve the problem. cf.

| 887797 isn't offered to Win98.

OK, thanks. I'll... adjust... that Master Post, then, to say it no

longer is offered. And good riddance! I'm pretty sure it was offered

once, though-- or at least that someone here must have been using it.

But it wasn't me!

Well, I see PA Bear solved it. Glad to hear it. I'll pull that solution

into my Master Post. It's been a long time since anyone had that

KB837009 problem!
