Very useful...So I guess it automatically does it for you?

[gajotnt]

yep

Could you please explain which hotfixes go in which folders?

[gajotnt]

I have it setup with 3 different hot fix directories the old style go in Hotfixes1. The new style with the colored icons go into Hotfixes2 and last but not least the last hotfix for mdac goes into hotfixes3.

What he said.

I personally use MDAC 2.8 rather than 2.7SP1. If you do that, just use "dasetup.exe" instead of "dahotfix.exe". MDAC 2.8 isn't affected by that last security hole and WindowsUpdate doesn't mind it being installed

well were do you get it. I could try to slipstream it.

Either MS were a bit slow, MDAC 8 was released before the hotfix was released (16 days apart) but it seems to be ok to install according to its version number. Here's the links:

MDAC 2.8

MS03-033 Patch for MDAC 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7

AaronXP beat me to it

And yes, it slipstreams fine. Just follow the directions I gave you.
