keytotime, do you have also KB884861 on your hdd?

BTW, the .NET updates are for the switchless installer. I don't think I should have started a new topic for those updates.

why still missing KB886903(MS05-004)?

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:47 am

I have the two dts ones on my hdd.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:51 am

Thanks keytotime

Ronliang, KB886903 is already included in the .NET switchless installer.

Did you miss the other thread awhile back about the user trying to use it with MCE2005? I'm not supporting more offshoot OSes and any problems they might bring with it. You're welcome to put it in your Dutch version if you want, but I'm not putting it in mine. I'm sticking with XP Home and XP Pro only.

I believe KB891566 and KB884047 hotfixes are for Windows 2000. They don't include sp2qfe folder and file versions are far earlier than 5.1.2600

No. The two hotfixes have different patches for 2000 and for XP

Has there been any patches related to tv tuners on the site? I can't seem to find anything when I do my searches, but I have an HDTV card that is having a lot of problems didn't know if it was due to the card itself or Winblows ...er I mean Windows.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:19 pm

Yah there is a patch. It's in 1.2

DisabledTrucker · Post by **DisabledTrucker** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:20 pm

Ahh ok kewl, then I already have it, thanks.

keytotime, you say you email microsoft to get these fixes .... where did you find the details for emailing as ive always been led to belive you could only get the hotfixes by phoning ms.

also an old hotfix for msxml 2 & 4 which is not in the current update pack is available at 887606

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 2:45 pm

It's already in the pack.

m4dh0 · Post by **m4dh0** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 3:52 pm

update pack v1.2 has msxml4.dll version 4.20.9821.0

that hotifx has msxml4.dll version 4.20.9828.0

Luckely kbAlertz seems to work finally:

KB893069 - Windows Media Player may buffer for several minutes when a client seeks in multiple bit rate content that is streamed from a Windows Media Service 9 Series server

Finally big issue solved

I had this behaviour always with some Dutch streaming website: http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 4:04 pm

Aw, thank's alot.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 4:23 pm

Also some Windows Media Player 9 Update:

KB892313

Directly available.

Replaces the KB892763 update

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 4:48 pm

Just so you guys know, I am planning on making a version of the INF available with no WMP9 updates mentioned in it available for download. That should make the lives of the WMP10 integrators a bit easier.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 5:08 pm

I don't like the new Windows Media Player 10. Too much bloated

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 5:28 pm

I'm with you on that one

ronliang · Post by **ronliang** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 8:08 pm

another week's patch

for XP:
KB888254
You cannot set the Folder Redirection policy setting on a Windows XP-based computer that also uses Group Policy settings to customize Internet Explorer
KB895900
You cannot save a file from your Windows XP-based computer to a shared folder on a file server

for .net framework 1.1
KB885456
FIX: The XmlTextReader class constructor never returns and appears to stop responding in the .NET Framework 1.1 with Service Pack 1
KB887549
The .NET Framework 1.1 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix rollup package for System.data.dll is available

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 10:56 am

Windows installer 3.1 appears to have gone final. I guess I don't have to worry about the beta version then

EDIT: I take that back. Technical glitch on my end

buletov · Post by **buletov** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:14 pm

any hints on the release date for new pack?

glent · Post by **glent** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:24 pm

Or beta? Im itching to format

maska · Post by **maska** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 3:00 pm

Yeah, me too.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 3:04 pm

Finals are over for me after tonight. I hope to get a large amount of work done on it over the next few days & weekend, so hopefully there'll be something to play with next week. I'm also going to be started a 6 month internship next week that'll force me to *gasp* work regular 8-5 hours (or something similar to that), so the good news is that I'll have nights/weekends to work on it without the distraction of school work. On the other hand, I won't be able to dedicate 8 hours a day to it either

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 3:38 pm

You don't use your computer to patch it!

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 4:46 pm

...huh?

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 5:50 pm

Oh sorry. I ment that users should take it easy with your pack. Using Windows XP is to serve you to do the things you want your computer to do. Patching is only to keep it in shape.

Some users want their system to get as up2date as possible. They tell about doing a format all day to get their system smooth. Don't listen to them. Your current pack patches all known security holes of xp. So take your time to complete the pack.

BTW. The link in the title of first post is updated by Microsoft

maska · Post by **maska** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 7:08 pm

... and some other users reinstall Windows because it's necessary. Let your nephew install and uninstall games and codecs and see what happens after a couple of days...

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Wed Mar 16, 2005 9:33 pm

Thanks guys,
Will

Sounds great Ryan.

BTW I finally got it working myself.

Hey Ryan just a question.

So your at 106 now right minus the wmp hotfixes and .net hotfixes correct? Just want to make sure I have the same list as you.

Post by **RyanVM** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 1:00 am

To be honest, I'm not completely certain right now. Don't forget that I'll be adding Windows Installer 3.1 RC1, which will postdate at least two hotfixes currently in 1.2.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 5:02 pm

All that needed to be requested are on my hdd.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 7:20 pm

Updated startpost with some more hotfixes. KB892049 is superseeded, however some registry entries can be made to fix some bugs.

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 1:36 am

Ok an update is needed.

Only two new ones I got are KB894179 and KB891117. Dont know if they superseed any others. Been lazy last two weeks. lol

So atm that is a total of 108 hot fixes. Sure ryan has more by now. Would like to know if possible and if they supperseed any hot fixes. Looking to update my pack as well at my web site.

So any help on this would be great. Seeing as stupid kbalerts has been sucking as of late. Was not even told about KB894179 and KB891117. Luckly another member at msfn told me about them.

Thanks,
Will

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 4:06 am

Thanks for the updates, war59312. They are not superseeded yet.

BTW, can anybody confirm having the updates in orange on hdd?

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 4:53 am

I only have KB891117 and KB894179 atm. Like I said.

So I should get these too then?

buletov · Post by **buletov** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 11:05 am

with so many fixes you could call it 1.2.5

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 11:33 am

I could I suppose. But meh, I'm saving my next major version bump for the future when I get a chance to implement some other things that are on the back burner currently.

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 7:11 pm

Wow a ton of hot fixes. So whats your current count?

I am at 128. Think I got rid of old ones.

Make that 126.

Thanks,
Will

Oh and what about KB884861? I have it now if u need.

oh never mind i see its just for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition...

windows installer rc 3.1.4000.1823

ronliang · Post by **ronliang** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 9:01 pm

KB893357 has replaced KB892087

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 6:45 am

I think build 1823 of Windows Installer 3.1 is the final build for non-2K3 OSes, given that it has a KB number attached to it (893803) and that the registry entry for it says "Windows Installer 3.1", when the RC build clearly said RC in the registry and had no KB number.

war59312 · Post by **war59312** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 4:04 pm

Nice one ronliang. Have a download link? Guess I will just have to wait until support article is up.

Well Ryan I am a beta tester and still only RC1 in beta place. Normally they post the final build or at least say when its released.

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 5:21 pm

OK, thanks for letting me know.

And yeah, Ron's sent me a few other KB numbers which don't have articles at the moment. Kind of annoying.
