XP Service Pack 3 Pushed Back to 2008 http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?editorialsid=7915

Well, on doing a little more research, it looks like KB905474 was actually released on January 16th. However, it seems that as of today it is showing up as a high priority update. Here is the link for information about KB905474 but I am not able to find a link for the full redistributable version yet, so if anyone else finds it, please post a link. And here is the information link for KB900485 which shows a release date of April 25, and is available for download.

Someone posted one here but I haven't tried doing it that way. Instead I have another way that I have been getting WGA installed. If you follow that link and look at several posts before that, you'll see other info about how I was doing mine.

More updates??? New updates showed up today, both listed as High Priority. KB900485 - Prevents a stop 0x7e error in AEC.SYS KB905474 - WGA Notification Tool

You are correct. See my update post for updated information. Hopefully Incroyable Hulk will have the front page updated shortly.

Can I make a suggestion? How about instead of including long lists like this, put the list in a text file and add it as an attachment. It makes for easier reading. Just a thought.

You are installing 911565 from your svcpack.inf, but when are you installing Media Player 10? Perhaps it's showing up in your add/remove list because the files were modified for MP9. If you install MP10 after your installation (like from RunOnceEx) then the default installation may be laying down the original files and you would need to re-patch with 911565. If you install MP10 and THEN install 911565 then it should work. If there is a way to install MP10 during the base install (like an integration) then I'm interested in knowing how well that works. In the meantime, I am using RunOnceEx after all my base OS stuff is done so that after it logs in, I install several applications (including MP10 and the fix). That being said, I did run into some problems with 911565 yesterday. It seems that the version of the file that I downloaded early yesterday was version 1.0.0.0, but later in the day, there was a version 1.1.0.0 that appeared. I had errors with the earlier version, but then re-downloaded the patch again and got the new version. I have a new simulation running right now with the new version, and I'll report my findings shortly. David

Well, that is for the next Service Pack, but that doesn't mean that it would be impossible to expect a roll-up package before then... or at least we can hope for one.

Probably shortly after they release Vista...

Is anyone getting the new 890830 package? This page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830) is showing that version 1.14 was released today, but follow the link in the page to download the actual package, and it takes you to a page where version 1.13 is still showing as the latest. Also version 1.14 is showing up on the Windows Update site. Is anyone else getting the new version yet?

@Sonic... I never said there was a problem. I simply was asking people for other ideas about how they were doing it, or if the way I was doing it seemed to be the best solution.

OK, I guess you were replying to me after all. Not that I could tell from the post since you didn't indicate... But I did a little looking into the inf file that controls laying down the WGA installation, and found the CLSID key you referred to. However, the explanation for why that key is added to the registry says "Limit Add-On Manager to always enabled". Basically what this key does is it forces the WGA ActiveX contol to be locked in the enable state in Internet Explorer. Explanation (for anybody who might be confused) In IE, select "Tools -> Manage Add-Ons". This list shows you additional controls loaded into your IE, and by selecting each one, you have an option to enable or disable the add-on. The reg key that boooggy provided forces the WGA add-on to stay enabled. I suppose I could add that key, but I don't see the benefit. If you turn it off in the Add-On Manager, then next time you need to validate, you will be told to download the control again.

Who's post were you replying to? I don't think it was mine, because I don't have to add the registry key, and you can't do direct integration if they don't provide a redistributable installation package. If you weren't replying to my post... nevermind...
