yes it QFE with the red x

The Win98/ME JSCRIPT.DLL MS06-023 fix for Win98 REQUIRES WSH 5.6 (build 8825) installed first. It wont work with other versions of WSH such as WSH 5.1 & 5.5.

Taken from my edited quote below MDGx's in the first page of this thread.

yes it QFE with the red x

Open Registry Editor [regedit.exe] and look for the KB918547 entries-

KB918547.EXE,,"4.10.0.2224

Q918547.dll,,"4.10.0.2224

I suspect the String variable was called \WINDOWS\KB918547\ for both of those files.

Change \WINDOWS\KB918547\ to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB918547\ and close registry editor. Now QFEcheck should correctly report the two files.

The WinME version of KB918547 does NOT have the QFECheck problem because they reference the updated files at the correct folder.

I'll wait to you or MDGx correct the problem i'm in no rush

thanks

yea M$ screwed up the KB918547 QFECheck registry info for the Win98 version of KB918547. WinME's KB918547 patch is ok. Good thing somebody like me has to fix their mistake.

All June 2006 Security Vulnerability Fixes now posted at WU + WUC.

New URLMON.DLL works properly with WU/WUC/OU, no need for URLMONFX anymore.

Bad news, the GRE WMF fix is made of 2 TSRs, similar to Q891711, actual GDI32.DLL/GDI.EXE *not* patched.

then I'd suggest installing both the unofficial KB912919 fixes for Win98/ME and the KB918547 fixes for Win98/ME to elliminate the WMF problems.

The incorrect qfecheck info bug for 918547 is ONLY on 98. Microsoft got it right on Windows ME.

yeah I noticed that, the_guy. mentioned it in an earlier post. so are we close to a new beta of the ME service pack being posted. also, I was wondering if you would be interested in making a beta of the 98 FE service pack 2.x. last time I heard the 98fe SP2 was stuck in alpha 2 and hasnt been updated for almost a year and nobody wants to revise it.

I'm planning on making a new release in the next few weeks.

About the 98FE SP: I don't think I'll have time to maintain that. Last I heard, Gape would be maintaining that SP.

ok. so far Gape has done nothing with the 98fe SP.

Yup. I've confirmed that KB916281 fixed the URLMON.DLL problem from KB912812 of IE6 SP1. Office Update and Windows Update sites worked correctly.

[MDGx]

ARE you ABSOLUTELY sure the updated URLMON.DLL file from MS06-021 works with WU & OU? Urlmon.dll file I'm using is version 6.00.2800.1551 [the RTMQFE version].

I went to WU + WUC right after I installed Q916281 on Win98 SE + IE 6.0 SP1, and both sites worked ok.

And nobody reported any bugs accessing OU so far [i don't have any M$ Office components installed, so I can't check the OU site].

Please send me the corrected 98SE INF when u have time.

IMHO:

I believe the GDI*.* fix [unofficial Q912919] for both 98SE + ME takes care of the newly discovered WMF bug [MS06-026 a.k.a. Q918547], but I'm not sure.

I'll wait for the GDI patch author to tell me if that's true, and will let you guys know.

If that's true, then nobody needs to install Q918547, so we don't have to install 2 new CPU-cycles-eating-TSRs.

What the hell kind of patch was that?! Again... similar to official Q891711, which was flawed, so somebody had to make U891711 to fix the M$ original patch (which was later reposted as V2.0) ?!

So we keep putting up with screw-up after screw-up, if u ask me...

But at least all our Win98/ME patch worries will be over July 11 2006.

That would be great. I was already wondering about this, reading what Ms has to say about themselves doesn't make anything clear to me. They say it's a new bug but they don't tell anything new compared to the old one.

I notice a new update KB917734 for WMP 7.1, but only for Windows 2000.

Inside, there seeems to be Wmpui.dll Version 7.10.00.3078, presumably one point release past what KB911565 applies in 9x with WMP 7.1 installed. [KB917734 claims WMP 6.4, such as obtainable with installing IE 6.0/SP1, is unaffected.]

Can anyone check this one out? [it would seem to be an easy fix borrowing the innards of KB911565 installer, and incidentally likely obsoleting KB911565 for WMP 7.1 users.]

I don't think everyone installs WMP 9.

uh I USE WMP9, CLASYS!

I'll ask MDGx to make an unofficial KB917734 wmpui.dll WMP 7.1 patch for Win9x/ME/NT4 which should replace the unofficial WMP 7.1 KB911565 patch for 9x/NT4.

Please send me the corrected 98SE INF when u have time.

You mean the corrected Win98 INF file for KB918547. already did late Wednesday. should apply to ALL editions of Win98 (both FE & SE).

[the_guy]

I already made unofficial 917734 for WMP 7.1 on 95/98/SE/ME/NT4 and 916281 on IE6 and NT4. I also sent them to MDGx.

I plan on making an unofficial MS06-022 and an unofficial MS05-013 update for NT4 this weekend.

I do too!

I didn't say NO ONE uses WMP 9, just not EVERYONE uses it! [i also use MPC 6.4.9.0.]

Apparently the KB918547 updates DO care what version of IE is installed. I've tested the KB918547 updates under Win98/ME. They will NOT work unless IE 5.5 SP2 or higher is installed. Looked at the contents of the KB918547 Win98/ME updates in Wordpad and they check the version of SHDOCVW.DLL file installed. It has to be version 5.50.4807.2300 or better. Otherwise the KB918547 patches refuse to install the files.
