In fact, I'm thinking about MSI source ... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...deploypack.aspx Btw, what is "the WMV issue only happens with integrated installs.

I have found we can't install NAV 2006 after KB917422 install, we must reboot after hotfix install.

KB929969 fix a problem in Internet Explorer all versions. If you use IE6 you must use your first link. If you have already installed IE7 use your second link. edit: Must reboot system after IE7 setup before install KB929969.
