YourMomIsCalling Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Would you consider KB894391 "critical"? "Generic Host Process" error message (5/18/2005)It's included in the list of hotfixes for Windows XP...As far as I can tell from reading the article, the problem only surfaces when you have file attachments with DBCS filenames. So I would say it's far from critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMomIsCalling Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It's a bit of a mess, yes. But MS do distinguish between both: one is a "cumulative update" (KB887797) while the other is a "cumulative security update" (KB823353).On the download page for KB887797 they even say "This non-security update helps resolve..."887797 is definitely very optional. If you read the KB article, all these updates are not even enabled, unless you make registry changes to enable them. I think they are low-priority updates which some customers wanted. I would NOT include it in any standard list of SP4 fixes for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMomIsCalling Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) Regarding Outlook Express 6 SP1 in general, there are three candidate hotfixes, of which I think only one really needs to be included in a clean-slate install CD.823353 and 897715 are both OE cumulative security updates. If you read the bulletins, 897715 really has all the security fixes accumulated on OE6SP1. 823353 has one additional fix that fixes a problem introduced by an even older cumulative security fix, namely the creation of a copy of the windows address book with the name TILDE "~". The only reason to install 823353 is if you are updating an existing system that's already been patched.And, as mentioned earlier, 887797 is just some low-need fixes that are enabled only by a registry change, even after you install it. Really not needed.So, conclusion: all you really need is 897715. Edited January 2, 2006 by YourMomIsCalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMomIsCalling Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 What about 828026 for Media Player 9? It is listed as a critical fix by Windows Update. It does seem to have some security-related changes in it from reading the article, like not allowing a stream to take IE web pages to a lower security zone.Shouldn't you have this on your hotfix list?

the_guy Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 About Outlook Express, I don't know. I'll remove the 887797 as that didn't show up for me at all under a fresh install. 823353 does, so i'll leave that in.1 thing, I don't know if HFSLIP integrates that. Personally, I would just integrate 832353 instead as it has newer binaries.There is also an update to replace 885492. It is 892313. I don't know if HFSLIP does that 1 either.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourMomIsCalling Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 About Outlook Express, I don't know. I'll remove the 887797 as that didn't show up for me at all under a fresh install. 823353 does, so i'll leave that in.1 thing, I don't know if HFSLIP integrates that. Personally, I would just integrate 832353 instead as it has newer binaries.Just so you know, my objective is to come up with the "right" list and procedure for clean installs of Win2K, without using HFSLIP. For Outlook Express, with Windows Update, if you install 823353, then run Windows Update again, it will then tell you you need 897715, and it will also offer 887797 as a recommended but not critical update. 823353 is Security Bulletin 04-018. It replaces the previous OE cumulative security update described in 04-013. It fixes a Malformed E-mail Header vulnerability, rolls up the previous cumulative security updates, and undoes a change that was made in 03-014 that annoyingly creates a copy of your Address Book under the filename of ~ in the root directory. 897715 is Security Bulletin 05-030. It fixes a Newsreader vulnerability. It also claims to roll up all previous security updates *except* for the undoing of the tilde file change. So that's why I thought it would be OK just to use 897715 for a clean install. As far as binaries go, 897715 has newer versions of msoe.dll and inetcomm.dll than 823353 does. I don't know why you say 823353 has newer binaries. I guess if you were being completely kosher you should FIRST install 823353, THEN 897715, to get a completely updated OE6SP1. There is also an update to replace 885492. It is 892313. I don't know if HFSLIP does that 1 either.?what? I can't find that anywhere. Are you sure "892313" is the right number?

the_guy Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 support.microsoft.com/?id=892313 works for me.I will remove the MS04-018 update. If anyone wants these updates left on, please post and i'll put them back asap.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyp Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Maybe a day late or a dollar short, but I believe the scripten.exe hotfix is needed only if you slipstream ie6. It's not needed when doing fdv's fileset. Can someone verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saugatak Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 TommyP, the way I have my HFSLIP folder setup, I have HF with just Hotfixes (no IE specific stuff).Then I copy hotfixes from IE5Hotfix folder if I'm doing a FDV HFSLIP, or I copy stuff from IE6Hotfix and IE6Cabs folder if doing an IE6 HFSLIP.scripten.exe is in my IE6Hotfix folder so back when I was looking at this real carefully, my conclusion was that scripten.exe is only needed if doing an IE6 HFSLIP.

the_guy Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Post updated with new updates. The new IE update is NOT required for IE6. The new WMP update supersedes 885492 (911565). 911564 does not supersedew any updates. There is also an update for WMP 7.1 available in the article for 911565.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVU Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Is it possible to create a standalone, cumulative/fully patched IE6 SP1? I’m interested in an up-to-date, slipstreamed IE6 – something like an unofficial SP2.Tomcat76’s list is:IE6.0sp1-KB823353-x86-ENU.exeIE6.0sp1-KB833989-x86-ENU.exeIE6.0sp1-KB887797-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exeoe6.0sp1-KB897715-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exeIE6.0sp1-KB905495-Windows2000-x86-ENU.exeIE6.0sp1-KB905915-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe (replaces KB896688)KBs 823353 and 887797 are Outlook Express updates. If it’s possible to create a standalone updated IE6, I’m assuming the Outlook files could be slipped in?If it’s possible, I would try to nLite it.
