Yes, the activex hotfix you mention is superceded. The update list files were sent to FDV for hosting. He will post it when he gets time from his hectic schedule. You may want to revisit your HF updates and be sure that you don't include what isn't required and re-verify what goes where. Case in point, the flash CAB file should go into the CABs directory, not hftools. At first glance, you have overlapping ones, especially in the windows media updates. If you are trying to visit WU, you should include legitcontrol.cab. Are you sure that KB943729.EXE is downloaded directly from MSFT? I find it strange that it has that filename.
