After running MSBA, it comes up w/ a few issues. A couple are "version is greater than expected." I'm assuming I can ignore this?

Also, a get a few that say it can't verify the existence of certain hotfixes (not that they are not there or anything....just can't veryify.) Should I be concerned?

Thx.

I've got that too, I don't think MS have updated their cab file for MBSA for a while.

I prefer to use HfNetCheck ~15 MB, 'cause you don't need windows-update and get detailed information of needed and installed patches with KB- and Q-numbers on all comp's in your network (if you want).

Type hfnetchk /? to get more help (console window).

database is dated 16/10.

Is this newer than MS' ?

EDIT:NO,NO use this hfnetchk for console , i don't realize the size of the link above, i'm really ...

16/10 seems new, its the last date when MS released 4 updates and the rollup.

btw, got a screenie of Hfnetchk in action? I've only used the command prompt version.

Well, the command prompt version is OK.

I prefer the good ol' command window.

I'm a DOS-freak and like switches and s/w windows

Sorry, for posting the link to the overdosed, heavyweight GUI-Version.. :/ shame on me..

@DaveXP

You haven't installed MDAC 2.8 ?

Fixes a lot of problems.

a bit OT...

I used this method:

-extract the files to a dir

-pack to exe with winrar with this options:

-Setup=dasetup.exe /q /n

-TempMode

-Silent=2

-Overwrite=1

its too squashed for me to make out...

i will remove this when Aaron has finshed

i have installed in but it never shows up like the Roll-Up for Windows XP that says that its not installed but it is

looks nice, does it give you direct links to the hotfix files themselves to download?

I know, but if you try to install again, you get less windows to confirm. Normally you get an uninstall option.

I have no suggestions to this behaviour, typically MS..

Yes it does but you must be registed to do that.

Screen Shot.

With console version: No, but if you use MS-KB Searchand copy/paste the MS0x-xxx you get detailed info's about the patch.
