Yes it will if you use the windows update method or the batch file method but if you slipstream them i am not sure about that.

HI! I"m new to the forum and just picked you from the bunch.

are'nt you lucky. I'm having trouble with my computer.windows xp

home edition. It was already installed and fine when I had another

problem and thats when I tried to reinstall XP. anyway it won't finish

installing and I get the error message SXS>DLL: snytax error in

manifest or poicy file "D"\1386\asms\6000\msft\vcrtl\vcrtl.man" on

line 21

Hope it makes more sense to you. thanks for any help offered.

have a nice day.

What does this have to do with Hotfixes?

(I accidently posted this in the XP forum, I think it really belongs here)

How about these:

Q824151 and Q841553 are listed as "Important" security issues on M$ website. The rest are "Crititcal". I suppose Q834707 replaces the current CSU for IE6 (download is for IE6 SP1).

I'm getting a little confused about all the hotfixes, so could someone help with this? I've done a little of the grunt work (posting these in the format used by Aaron)

Hey all...

Just had this one show up on a PC based on the info in this thread:

Q839643 (8th June 2004)

Vulnerability in DirectPlay Could Allow Denial of Service

Download - 435KB

I'm using the following switches: KB839643.EXE /quiet /passive /norestart /n

Why is this one not listed before now? Am I missing something? Is it assumed that we are all upgrading DirectX? (We're not.)

(I'm not complaining... I just don't think we *all* could have missed this...)

Hello. There seem to be quite a few patches available for XP SP1. I'm an admin for a company still using SP1 with no plans to go to SP2 for the forseeable future. In the next couple of weeks I'll try to update the list on this forum by using MBSA - lovely tool from Microsoft.

Are you blind and unable to see the sticky at the top of this forum???

that really cracks me up right there.

I mean, come on. I know the search feature of the forum sucks, but that's no excuse

Guys, guys, why so harsh?

It was a nice gesture even if it was unneeded.
