Broken Hope Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 KB article doesn't exist, and it doesn't show on WU (it would if it was critical) and its also dated 16th December. I'm not so sure about this one just yet...It updates all the files found in Q828026 to higher versions so why not list it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 The way microsoft makes there hotfixes is like this:1 - a kb article is created to get a kb number (like 307545), basically a dummy article is created.2 - the hotfix is made and tested, using the kb article number3 - once testing is done, the hotfix is released and the kb article is writtenThis is why a new hotfix might be a couple months old, and the hotfix number might not be new. Both these things don't neccessarily mean trouble. This is my understanding of the hotfix process, i could be wrong.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marztabator Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Well, it looks like the KB article for that new WMP hotfix is up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladewraith Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Here is my Svcpack.inf file.................granted I can lose some spacing in the hotfixes area but at least I don't have an easy time finding the commands. I'm testing to see if the ; lines will cause chaos in my file or just act as remarks as I think they will. I added what the hotfixes were so I could at least know which is which and if a fix comes along that replaces on can find it more easily. I know about the MSVM line being remarked out..........did that till I get MSVM installed for right now [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$"MajorVersion=5MinorVersion=1BuildNumber=2600[SetupData]CatalogSubDir="\i386\Update"[ProductCatalogsToInstall]KB826939.cat[SetupHotfixesToRun]update.exe -q -n;April 2003, Cumulative Patch for Outlook Express 6 SP1Q330994.exe /Q:A /R:N;Flaw in Windows Script Engine May Allow Code to RunJS56NEN.exe /Q:A /R:N;Flaw in the Microsoft VM Could Enable System Compromise;Q816093.exe /Q:A /R:N;Vulnerability in Authenticode Verification Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionQ823182.exe /Q /N /Z /O;Flaw in NetBIOS Could Lead to Information DisclosureQ824105.exe /Q /N /Z /O;Buffer Overrun in the ListBox and in the ComboBox Control Could Allow Code ExecutionQ824141.exe /Q /N /Z /O;November 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 SP1Q824145.exe /Q:A /R:N;Buffer Overrun in Windows Help and Support Center Could Lead to System CompromiseQ825119.exe /Q /N /Z /O;Buffer Overrun in Messenger Service Could Allow Code ExecutionQ828035.exe /Q /N /Z /O;Windows Media Player 9 and Movie Maker 2WMP9_mm2_ENU.exe;Update for Windows Media Player Script CommandsQ828026.exe /Q /N /Z /O;MDAC 2.8MDAC.EXE;Buffer overrun in an MDAC function could allow code executionMDACUP.CMD;Verifies Hotfixesqchain.exe;DirectX 9DX9NTopk.exe;Dot Net FrameWorkDOTNETFW.exe;WinAmp 5WinAmp.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Q832353 has been added to the list and is the latest Windows Media Player 9 Update. This supersedes all past WMP9 updates (including 828026). This is a Type 1 Hotfix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybpsych Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Aaron,i'm planning to put Q832483 (13th January 2004) - "Buffer overrun in an MDAC function could allow code execution" in my RunOnceEx.cmd:REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Microsoft DAC Security Update" /fREG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Q832483.exe /c:\"dahotfix.exe /q /n\" /Q" /fis this correct? i'm not sure though.thanks!

Frank_Sechrist Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 If I use 832353 INSTEAD of 828026, Windows Update still shows 828026 as a critical update. If I use 828026 without 832353, Windows Update shows NO updates required. I'm using the /o /u /n /z from RunOnceEx.cmd.For now, I'm installing both, but, it appears that 832353 does NOT supercede 828026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 It does supersede it according to file versions, its just Windows Update is oblivious to the fact that there's a newer update for WMP9, so MS haven't added it to WU's database yet. (hopefully they will soon!)I'll remove the new WMP9 update (832353) from the list for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
