I don't see either of those files on the XP CD.

Updated startpost. Please look closely on the .NET framework post-sp1 fixes. If some hotfixes are not listed please tell me. Don't worry about superseeded or not.

RyanVM, would it be possible to somehow include the SafeDisc Windows XP Fix?

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 6:25 pm

Great. Secdrv.sys is probably the file that counts. The file does not have a digital signature so it can easily be replaced. However drvmgt.dll is also included. What to do with it?

I guess recycle bin. I don't like copy protection that much.

BTW, link for more information:

Post by **RyanVM** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 6:32 pm

I've got the Safedisc patch, but I'm a little thrown by this:

This software will not alter or patch any component on your system

I'm going to play with it in VMWare and see what it actually does.

EDIT: OK, I've got it added in. secdrv.sys was updated and a few new registry entries were added.

hp38guser, KB893040 supercedes KB887548 on your .NET list. Also, you're missing KB896600, which supercedes KB888420. And I've got KB887559 and KB887560.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 1:54 pm

Ryan, I can't find KB896684 in your update pack?

Did you include it or not?

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 2:18 pm

It's in 1.2.2. I think I accidentally uploaded a version of updatepack.html which had it on it already. Fixing now.

EDIT: Done

That file is part of the Visual Basic Runtime. It is not included with Windows XP SP2

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 4:21 pm

KB885250 is superseeded by KB895900.

Please keep your update list accurate for the translators!

Remember the update list is not longer included in RVMUppck.inf

So I missed one hotfix on my site. Chill out.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 4:57 pm

Sorry about that. I'm in a rush to get the Dutch pack in shape

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 5:01 pm

No prob. I'm in the process of changing some stuff around on my site so hopefully obsolete hotfixes will be in a more efficient format.

Also, I still maintain a file locally with all of the hotfixed files like what used to be at the top of the INF. If you want a copy of it, don't hesitate to ask.

Microsoft did remove the link to the WPA2 update:

Sereby, please post only .NET 1.1 Post-SP1 fixes. And your Internet Explorer link is just a work around.

Sereby · Post by **Sereby** » Mon May 02, 2005 11:38 am

which are not post sp1 hotfixes?

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Mon May 02, 2005 1:32 pm

Files with versions below 1.1.4322.x are not SP1 fixes.

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon May 02, 2005 1:48 pm

hp38guser wrote:Files with versions below 1.1.4322.x are not SP1 fixes.

More specifically, file versions below 1.1.4322.2032 are not post-SP1.

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Mon May 02, 2005 5:37 pm

Be careful with that. SP1 does not update all .NET framework files to the latest version. You will have to find out yourself.

I guess that explains why the KB article went down again for awhile. As always, thanks

Post by **RyanVM** » Tue May 03, 2005 4:35 pm

Another new one: KB893310

EDIT: Also interesting is that KB895181 installs even if you've only got WMP9 (and yes, it installs the WMP10 DLL).

No new secuity patches this month for Windows XP. The security bulletin (MS05-024) released today only applies to Windows 2000 and older OS-es.

Nazgul wrote:Found a new one for XP:

KB898060 Network connectivity between clients and servers may not work after the installation of security update MS05-019 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1

Also, this one has been re-released. See this article for more information.

Nazgul - Thanks, I want to get that updated version in before the next release.
ronliang - Yeah, busy month

. I'm still going to shoot for an update in the next day or so, though I have to admit that there's definitely less sense of urgency now.
