I have also problems with KB911565, I have german Windows XP SP2, it integrates without problems, kb911565.cat is in the folder and wmp.dl_ has 10.0.0.3990 version. Still WU shows KB911565 and KB904942 as not installed.

I attach HFSLIP.LOG and also WU_MS.TXT (result of HFNETCHK -V -MS) and WU_SHAVLIK.TXT (result of HFNETCHK - V), because they give different results

Hope this helps

KB904942 & KB911565 not integrated...

kb911565.cat is in SVCPACK

Wmp.dll is version 10.0.0.3990

Microsoft released a second version of 911565 for Windows XP. It includes wmp.dll version 10.0.0.4019.

I also believe Microsoft re-released 904942.

I can not check this , because WU doesn't work me .
After starting WU the toolbar appears:
"this window has to require ActiveX control WINDOWS UPDATE from MICROSOFT WINDOWS PUBLISHER"
Click to install.

After his installation appears the error:
[The number of the error: 0x8DDD0004]


Advices aren't effective from this message:

Yes, they fixed seeking issue KB912226, so new version number - though I don't know if it helps with HFSLIP issue

I'll try it (HFSLIP with new 911565 is running right now )

but I haven't found a change in 904942, at least in german version.

I see! I will also try with the new 911565.

KB904942 is an optional update for Internet Explorer 7. If you don't install IE 7, I don't think there is any reason to include it. However, I do notice that it says the problem does not occur until IE 7 is installed. Does this mean I should include the hotfix?

Regarding the seeking issue (KB912226): On the page for KB911565, Microsoft does not say that the issue is fixed. It is still listed under "Known issues".

You're right - I was too lazy to read thoroughly the whole thing - I thought they're releasing fix and not only bumping this fix to notify users about possible complications after installation of this fix.

KB904942 is an update for Outlook Express 6 but it's only needed when/if you install IE7.

Outlook Express 6 uses "a certain way" to access HTTP-based e-mail servers (such as Hotmail) which no longer works (or is no longer accepted) when you install Internet Explorer 7. KB904942 updates the way OE6 accesses HTTP-based e-mail servers in a way that's compatible with both IE6 and IE7. So the hotfix is not needed if you decide to not install IE7, but installing it anyway doesn't harm your system either.

@Tomcat76
Can you direct Me what I do bad?

Did you redownload KB911565? It was updated according to the_guy. WMP.DLL is at version 10.0.0.4019 now.

Yes, downloading V2 of KB911565 solved the problem - there simply WAS newer version of this fix

Thanks Tomcat76 for your work

P.S.: Do you know why KB904942 doesn't get slipstreamed?

I'll check it out tomorrow. But it worked before, didn't it?

I redownloaded KB911565.

I did several tests.
I didn't use folders :HFSVCPACK & HFAAO

1. I used HFSLIP_60401.CMD
WU does not work.

2. I used HFSLIP_60414a.CMD, deleted *.CAT
WU doesn't work also.

3. I used HFSLIP_60414a.CMD, deleted *.CAT
I added KB917425, KB912812 and deleted KB905915
WU doesn't work

4. This test was identical as TEST3 only I left the files of the CAT.
WU doesn't work also


Info: MS KB917425

If I remember correctly, your Windows Update problem isn't new. I don't know what "Microsoft Windows Publisher" is...

No, it didn't work for me.
Well, for me it's a minor issue as I don't plan to install IE7 in near/distant future

You can try 60415b for the KB904942-v2 problems. I'll start doing extensive tests in a while myself.

I found out why 904942 doesn't get slipstreamed. The new version is only on Windows Update. You need to go to the Windows Update Catalog to download the new version.

the_guy

Then could you please host it somewhere for the poor people that can't use WU ?
(nLite, blabla, removed, blabla, is able to restore BITS and AutoUpdate service but seems something else missing, blabla, wil dig into, blabla :flowers: )

Thanks for the tip, the_guy. You are right. I installed the WU Catalog version by hand and then Windows Update stopped complaining.

I removed the "trial fix" for KB904942-v2 introduced in HFSLIP_60415a.

For the folks that are interested in having the WMP9/10 classic skin... It appears that the latest fix introduced about two days ago does the trick. Happy skinless experience...

New final is coming up. I just need to do one more test.

The fix for the "DX3 problem" on Windows 2003 will not be included in the final since noone seems to give a F. I can't test this myself because everything's fine on my end.
