883667 & 910678 hotfix

[C|ak]

Hi all,

I need to install these 2 hotfix to do testing on one of my system.

however when I double-click the hotfix files, it extract newdev.pdb file.

From what I research, it is some kind of debugging file.

How do I install the hotfix?

the link are provided:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910678

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883667

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thank in advance.

The (EN) hotfix packages from those 2 KB articles are:

WindowsXP-KB883667-x86-enu.exe

WindowsXP-KB883667-x86-Symbols-enu.exe

WindowsXP-KB910678-v2-x86-ENU.exe

Only the second package, with the word "Symbols" in the filename, contains a symbols package (.pdb file) - the other 2 contain update.exe and some compressed files so should work fine.

You don't need to run WindowsXP-KB883667-x86-Symbols-enu.exe at all.
