@Kiki Burgh Thank you reporting errors and things which are not clear enough!!! > (1) WindowsXP-KB971276-v3-x86-ENU.exe links to german update THX, i will correct it! > (2) UPHClean-Setup.msi already has a beta (but is tagged as ver 2) Don't understand... I took that info but I don't use it by myself. I thought it was 1.6d. > (3) WindowsMedia11-KB939683-x86-ENU & WindowsXP-KB914440-v12-x86-ENU show in kb articles as for XP SP2 only For KB939683 you found that info on the download-page not in the KB article. The download-page is from 2007. So don't be confused that there was SP2. But mainly WMP11 is important! For KB914440 it's th same. This tool is from 2006. > (4) do i need both RDCs: KB958469 & KB956744? No! If you don't update RDC you take 5.2, otherwise the other one! > (5) is WindowsXP-WindowsMedia-KB973540-x86-ENU not needed anymore? It is needed. It's listed in table 2 (sec upd) 2009-08/MS09-037 > (6) would the last column in table 7 suggest downloading some that superseded those in the 1st column? (my apologies but i have not cross-checked possible duplicate among the listed files yet) table 7 is only information. All what is necessary do download is listed above! I will correct the list this evening... CU, Mimo ---- EDIT ---- (1) is corrected (4) theres now an extra hint between tables 1 and 2 for RDC. Also where to take care (in table 2), the hints are now bold.
