Astalavista Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 people hving problems downloading KB886185 here is Direct Link
rutger10000 Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Hi Incroyable HULK,the security Update Q816093 for the MS Java Virtual Machine is missing in the updates (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816093/EN-US/). Is this "by design" or simply forgotten?Unfortunately Microsoft claims this update can only be downloaded through their download center if you are using Windows 2000 SP2 or SP3 and that the rest of their customers has to use their great Windowsupdate site. I don't want to know who comes up with such ideas...Anyway I think the fix should still be included in the list even if no download location is specified.However you can download an update to the latest version 5.00.3810 directly from the Microsoft server -> http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...2a04af2b34d.exeIf you run the downloaded file on a Windows 2000 SP4 computer you get an error message. But if you rename it from MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe to msjavwu.exe it works. I guess that protection was developed by the same guys who removed the file from the download center.Concerning "KB819639 -› Flaw In Windows Media Player May Allow Media Library Access" in the Windows 2000 SP4 list: A little remark like "If you didn't upgrade your WMP and still use 6.4 you don't need this fix" would be nice. Maybe it saves a few people some searching, like myself
Incroyable HULK Posted December 19, 2004 Author Posted December 19, 2004 1) Let me say it again (3rd time )My method to get the list of hotfixes is under simulation with a flat installation for the 3 OS. I go to Windows Update and get the list of update from there. If Microsoft themself are not giving an accurate update list, I wonder who can... Anyway, the goal is always the same: get all the critical updates integrated into our unattended project. I think my method is the fastest and easy for me to maintain.2) About Media Player, It would be too much trouble listing all the exceptions for IE6, Media Player and DirectX if you choose NOT to upgrade theses. It is up to you to do the searching and beside I don't think there is any issues when installing updates even when they are not needed...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MS WINDOWS 2000 PRO SP4 - (31)WITH Internet Explorer 6 & Windows Media Player 9 & DirectX 9.0c installed3) Welcome to the Forum!

It is much easier for me to maintain. Thanks!

gbmacman Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 @Incroyable HULK1. Great job. I use the same method to check for updates prior to integrating or slipstreaming.2. The download links for the following XP SP1 updates point to the XP Embedded version, not XP Pro:KB840374 - Correct Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enKB832483 - Correct Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enKB828035 - Correct Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enKB824105 - Correct Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enKB823182 - Correct Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en-------------With all due respect to RyanVM, NetQuik, et al., I think its a mistake to list updates not found via Windows Update in this thread. The less informed may be tempted to put these into production environments without proper testing. Another thread would be more appropriate.

I didn't try an installation from a slipstreamed SP4 CD though.1) Let me say it again (3rd time )My method to get the list of hotfixes is under simulation with a flat installation for the 3 OS.

Also here: I installed Win2000 -> SP4 -> IE6 SP1 -> DirectX 9.0c, then went directly to Windowsupdate wich presented me 31(?) security fixes and among them also the one for the JVM. That's why i actually posted it in this thread 2. Ok, just a suggestion.3. Thanks.
Incroyable HULK Posted December 22, 2004 Author Posted December 22, 2004 @gbmacmanThanks! I will update the link soon... where the heck I got those links? @rutger10000As long as you have 31 critical updates my list should be accurate ... unless the one you are talking about has been re-released more recently?
Bilou_Gateux Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 @rutger10000Are you using this method:Making a Bootable Windows 2000 CD with Service Pack Integratedto get a 2K SP4 CDor are you using an original M$ OEM CD with SP4 already integrated to the source ?
Incroyable HULK Posted December 24, 2004 Author Posted December 24, 2004 @gbmacmandone! thanks again!@Bilou_GateuxI moved KB814078 and KB823353 to the (new) EXCEPTIONS section of Windows 2000 SP4 since it is the best way to avoid problems... after all the testing we have done @everyoneHave a wonderfull holiday time!
