pcalvert Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I've been looking at lists of download links for post-SP3 updates and noticed something odd. There appears to be more than one file name (and download URL) for at least some Windows XP updates.Here is one example:528424 May 22 2008 windowsxp-kb946648-x86-enu_288da0ecf75b20e972ad58dba0a382173b548ec1.exe528424 May 2 2008 WindowsXP-KB946648-x86-ENU.exeMD5: 227ab80b252b3a31657a1b34eef5f5ddSHA1: 288da0ecf75b20e972ad58dba0a382173b548ec1The above values are the same for both files, confirming that they are identical. Does anyone know why there are two files (and two download URLs) for the same update?Phil Edited June 1, 2014 by pcalvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ones a file that Windows Update/ Microsoft Update / Automatic Updates uses and the other one is from the Microsoft download center.There's a 3rd naming method if you where to download the file from the Microsoft Update Catalog and maybe a 4th if you downloaded the monthly ISOs.
