KB838018 FP2000 Server Extensions hotfix for Win2000

[erpdude8]

Note to the creators of the unofficial Win2000 SP5 package - I was wondering if the KB838018 hotfix is included. It's a hotfix that updates the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions under Windows 2000. If it isn't can it be added into the next release of unofficial Win2000 SP5? it would be a nice addition for Win2k users who have installed the Frontpage 2000 Server Extensions.

Hi

I hardly believe my eyes - you are the first person to find out about a hotfix which is NOT included in the USP. Thank you

Well - I need some help here.... does anyone have it? Please??

will check for it tommorrow morning,

[Gurgelmeyer]

@-I- - Thanks - please do

[-I-]

have send an email asking for it, but the SA for the company i log in as, kind of has expired (so lets hope they'l reply)

[Gurgelmeyer]

Any news?? Please tell me some good news soon. I've been trying to get it from MS PSS myself but they wont let me have it unless I pay.

I think this LAST USP 5.1 release somehow deserves a little extra attention, so I'm adding the 4 security updates from this week in the meanwhile. Hope noone minds

(ps - by LAST USP 5.1 I mean that NEXT USP will be 5.2 - so this one has to last a few months)

I just registered today for two reasons - I felt bad about using the USP5.1 without having a way to thank Gurgelmeyer (thanks a lot! ) and secondly, I was following this topic on 838018 - and checked the usual places to see if this fix could be downloaded somewhere. While I didn't find a download as such, I did hit upon the list of fixes in Windows XP SP2 -

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...%5BLN%5D;811113

Reason for this coming up in Google was that it included, wait for it,

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838018

The article listed an install of Office 2000 SP3 as requirement for this fix, and it listed the files that

would be installed:

I went into my Windows XP installation and confirmed that the first two files were present, and of the version listed.

The question I have now is - would we be able to use the files from Windows XP SP2 for the hotfix ? I think the technical answer is yes, but I am unsure about the legal aspect. I know that we're not supposed to use WXP SP2 files if we do not own a copy of XP, but, as we do own a copy of Win2000, are we allowed to take the hotfixes from wherever we can get them ?

Thanks again, regards, w2kfan

[-I-]

its rather illigal - so i vote against it (and wisper at Gurgle - that as long as i dont know about it, he is more than welcome to add these files).

GRINNNNNNN

[Gurgelmeyer]

Good news: I got the real files now. Funny - because literally every bit of them match the XPSP2 ones.

It's in the latest USP's, which I've just uploaded (they will probably be available for dl very soon).

Best regards

[Gurgelmeyer]

I once got some hotfixes in Korean - well they are probably underpaid hard working people - but still, I couldn't help smiling
