powaking Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Just did my first XPCreate and went to windowsupdate and only needed 1 Windows Update (817778 - Not going to bother with that one). But I ran another tool to check for patches and found that 811493 was needed (This update addresses the Buffer Overrun in Windows Kernel Message Handling could Lead to Elevated Privileges (811493) for Windows XP Embedded with SP1).Anyone know if this is critical? Best method to slipstream? Or should I just wait for SP2? Again windowsupdate doesn't report that this is needed to be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 It's probally because if you read it, it's for Windows XP Embedded. Do you have Windows XP Embedded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powaking Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Well, I did slipstream SP1a. I'm pretty sure my XP disc didn't have SP1a embeded into it. Checked the log and said Found Service Pack Version: 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 ummm...Windows XP Embedded is another version of XP. Like Professional and Home. It's just another variation, primarily used in PalmPC's and other small electronics, like ATMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powaking Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 well, I installed it on a desktop and seriously doubt this version is xp embedded. might just be reading the reg wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Mute point ... the Security Rollup superceeds that hotfix, which just has the ntkrnl*.exe files (or whatever they were called). Otherwise it would be on the list. The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is my reference point for hotfix installations. Windows Update is ... flakey.Welcome to MSFN, powaking!

daywalker03 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 GM, MBSA can be flaky if files installed are newer than it expects to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Yes, but I can handle a "Version greater than expected" error much better than a "Hotfix not installed" error! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
