Regarding KB923996-v2: Microsoft is notoriously inaccurate with many of their web pages. MS06-042 is definitely for KB918899. KB923996 was not released in any security update cycle AFAIK. Ignore it .

@Tomcat, saugatak is correct in regards to KB917159 (MS06-035). It was replaced by KB923414 (MS06-063).

(Unfortunately, this was posted in the wrong place so I need to move it)

Thanks

hi the_guy! i know it has been requested already before but would it be okay if all those replaced HFs by which HFs be included here (even those for WMP)? it would truly be helpful to prevent slipstreaming unnecessary HFs in HF directory. thanks a lot!

you lost me. Could you please clarify?

the_guy

ha! ha! due to the HFs! if i recall it right, there was already someone who requested to kindly include those hotfixes that are no longer needed/superceded & by which hotfix overwrites it ... (even the older ones) thanks!

I kind of know what you're talking about, but the only method would be to ensure that none of the fixes in your HF folder aren't in a list.

Updated list with November fixes.

Is KB925398 needed for Windows XP SP2 when WMP11 and WMF11 are installed? Automatic Updates still downloaded this hotfix when it updated my computer today.

Yes it is. WMP6.4 is still installed even if you install WMP9/10/11.

the_guy

List updated with December fixes.

the_guy

Hmmm...why is XP SP1a now "obsolete"?

I know support for it ended, but I thought HFSLIP would still support it. By that I mean Tomcat76 removed the link to SP1a on hfslip.org and stopped updating his hotfix list for it.

List updated for January 2007 updates.

the_guy

List updated with February 2007 updates.
