1. IE905915 [created by the_gui] is not for Win95, any edition.
The web page where you downloaded the file states clearly that it is meant only for Windows 98/98 SE/NT4 SP6a/2000.
The last IE 5.5 SP2 patch compatible with Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2 is Q867801:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2...801-x86-ENU.exe

2. MSXML4.MSI is not corrupted, it is the same MSI installer [renamed from msxml.msi] extracted from Q925672 for 2000 SP4/XP SP1/XP SP2/2003/2003 SP1/2003 R2:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/0...B925672-enu.exe
and installs ok on Windows 98, 98 SP1, 98 SE + ME [and probably on NT4 + SP6a with IE 6.0 SP1].
MSXML4 requires IE 6.0 SP1 already installed.

Although I noticed that MSXML4*.DLL files install in:
%windir%\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.MSXML2_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.20.9839.0_x-ww_ed80bd5c\msxml4.dll
%windir%\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.MSXML2R_6bd6b9abf345378f_4.1.0.0_x-ww_29c3ad6a\msxml4r.dll
To avoid any confusion, I have created an installer which copies these files to %windir%\system and registers [regsvr32] msxml4.dll to %windir%\system [636 KB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q925672.EXE

HTH

MSXML4.MSI

Will not install on my computer I get error message

The msxml4-KB925672-enu.exe file is
linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:NtShutdownSystem.

Yes, the exe file will not install on 9x OSes [it's not meant to], but if you extract msxml.msi from inside it, and then run the MSI file, it will install on any 98/ME edition with IE 6.0 SP1 installed.

But to avoid any confusion, I've created an exe [636 KB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q925672.EXE
This should install properly on any 98/ME edition with IE 6.0 SP1 installed.

HTH

i did it already and it works.thanks

either the MSXML4.MSI package did not downloaded properly onto my PC or the file was posted/uploaded incorrectly onto your site, which is why I got an error message that the file was corrupted. so I just extracted the XML MSI pack from the XP KB925672 exe package and ran it onto my WinME machine and it installed the MSXML4.DLL, MSXML4A.DLL and MSXML4R.DLL files into the Windows\System folder.

revise the Q925672.EXE package as you need to include the MSXML4A.DLL file.

Also with the .NET Framework 2.0 KB917283 and KB922770 security updates, you can extract the MSP files inside those two updates and run them under Win98/ME + NFR 2.0. In other words, you CAN use the KB917283 and KB922770 security patches under Win98 & ME with .NET Framework 2.0. The KB922270 security patch will update only the System.Web.dll file under Win98/ME + NFR 2.0.



XML 4.0 does NOT require IE6.0 SP1, MDGx. I can install XML 4.0 KB925672 even on a Win98/ME machine with an older version of IE.

1. Done.
Please download Q925672.EXE again [647 KB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q925672.EXE
Disabled check for IE 6.0 SP1.
Added MSXML4A.DLL.

2. The .NET Framework (NFR) fixes are more complex to create, because those files install in custom subdirectories within NFR 2.0 directories.
I'll do this some day when I have time.

Thanks for the heads up.

If I have time this weekend, I'll make patches for MS06-033/MS06-056 for .NET 2, and MS05-004 for .NET 1.0SP3/1.1SP1.

the_guy

Sounds great.
Please email me when you have them.
It's all good, because I don't think I'll find enough spare time to do this soon enough.

Thanks for your time + trouble.

UPDATED · 10-17-2006

Updates:
- 98SE2ME: Moved Movie Maker shortcut to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Multimedia.
Replaced WinME SYSTRAY.EXE icon group #1 with WinXP SP2 SHELL32.DLL icon group #312.
- 98SE2XP: Replaced ADVPACK.DLL, BROWSELC.DLL, ASCTRLS.OCX, MSHTMLER.DLL + MSHTML.TLB with older 6.00.2800.1106 from XP SP1.
- 98SEMP10: Replaced BLACKBOX.DLL with older 9.0.0.3288 from WMP10 Codecs + DRM for WMP9.
- Replaced MSXML4.MSI with iexpress EXE installer [647 KB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q925672.EXE

DONT, MDGx. Let me elaborate on what I said about installing the KB917283 and KB922770 security updates.




NO, the_guy. DONT create MS06-033 and MS06-056 updates!

listen up, MDGx & the_guy: Just extract the NDP20-KB917283-X86.msp file from the NDP20-KB917283-X86.exe file and double-click on the NDP20-KB917283-X86.msp file to install the patch.
Same thing with the NDP20-KB922770-X86.msp file. extract that file from the NDP20-KB922770-X86.exe file and run the NDP20-KB922770-X86.msp file. That's what I did on my WinME + NFR 2 machine and those patches got installed. They didnt have to check Windows version and it only has to detect NFR 2.

MS05-004 for NFR 1.0 SP3 & NFR 1.1 SP1 you can try to make. MS05-004 says that the updates for NFR 1.0 & 1.1 are included in NFR 1.0 SP4 & NFR 1.1 SP2. But there are no NFR 1.0 SP4 and NFR 1.1 SP2 downloads.

AH, CRUD

the BROWSE98.EXE "BROWSELC.DLL + BROWSEUI.DLL" patch that updates the BROWSEUI.DLL file MADE the unofficial OE911567 patch [OE911567.EXE] for Outlook Express 6.0 SP1 useless, erroneously saying that IE6.0 SP1 has to be installed BUT I have BOTH IE 6.0 SP1 and OE 6.0 SP1 installed. I looked at the contents of the OE911567.exe file and that patch does check for the browseui.dll file.

perhaps a version range should be specified in the SED file for browseui.dll like 6.00.2800.1106-6.00.2800.9999

OE911567.exe should be revised to fix this problem AND should include a dialog box saying "Do you want to install this update?" Running OE911567.exe performs an "immediate" install of files with no prompt to install the update or not [oh, I HATE that!]

Q911567.exe for Outlook Express 5.5 SP2 should also be revised if newer 5.5 SP2 builds of BROWSEUI.DLL prevent the installation of the OE 911567 patch for OE 5.5 SP2.

I got word that the OE911567.exe and Q911567.exe patches (and the IE905495 msieftp.dll fixes) were made from the_guy.
note to the_guy: revise these patches that I have noted above and include the "Do you want to install this update?" prompt in these patches.

@erpdude8: I plan on making those changes tomorrow, and slo sending them to MDGx at that time.

the_guy

This fix was re-released, see:

Thanks, Petr.

I've updated the link:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#XML

Although, I think the only bug in V1 was that the registry keys [which set the "kill bit" for MSXML 2.6] were listed without quotes, which makes them flawed and useless, because reg key names listed in INF files that contain spaces must be listed surrounded by quotation marks.
Example from V1:
Same [fixed] example from V2:Notice the extra quotation marks around the reg key name in V2.

Also, I think they have replaced [or maybe I have in my INF (?)] 400 with 0x400 .

The unofficial fix I created already has proper registry keys in the INF:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q924191.EXE

the MS06-061 security patch was revised for Windows 2000 SP4 only. other MS06-061 patches remain the same.

noted in Win2k Hotstream forum

also MDGx, the final release of IE7 has been posted at the Microsoft IE site

I just wanted to point out that the .MSP file from 886903 installed on my laptop running Windows ME and NDP 1.1 SP1. Also, I did send MDGx the updated IE files.

IE834707.EXE
Does not install

the_guy:

Probably SED detection problem with IE 6.0 SP1 system files.

Example from my SED file:
HTH

IE834707: Should install, but it's for IE6 PRE-SP1.

Also, I might release a version of vgx.dll for IE 5.5 SP2 with the zert patch already applied. Maybe even IE 5.01 SP2/3 and IE6 PRE-SP1 (also, seperate for XP version).

the_guy

BUT IT DOESN'T

That's odd.
Can you tell me what windows version you're running and the versions of the following files:


If it all adds up, I'll do some testing here.

the_guy

Win98SE
This is the message i get

The version of Windows you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install.

This is the line in the .SED file for that:

That should allow install on 98SE. Warn1 is the error message you receive.

I have no idea.

the_guy

PROBLEMCHYLD:

You must have IE 6.0 [Pre-SP1] when trying to install IE834707.
the_guy created it to install only on IE 6.0 [Pre-SP1], and will not install on any other newer or older IE build [that includes IE 5.5 SP2, IE 6.0 SP1].

IE 5.5 SP2 files are build 5.50.4807.2300
IE 6.0 files are build 6.0.2600.0000
IE 6.0 SP1 files are build 6.0.2800.1106

So if the SED file contains [for example]:then you won't be able to install IE834707 even if using Win98SE, because it won't install on IE 6.0 SP1 nor on IE 5.5 SP2.
It requires IE 6.0 [Pre-SP1].

HTH

I'll just continue using the version before this because i had no problems with it
Thanks MDGx.

Ok.
@ PROBLEMCHYLD (sp?): Can I still have version numbers of the files that I asked for earlier. It might help with troubleshooting and getting the patch to install properly.

the_guy

They both has 6.0.3790.0
but the new one don't install and the old one do.

so the following files:

browseui.dll
inseng.dll
mshtml.dll
pngfilt.dll
shdoclc.dll
shdocvw.dll
shlwapi.dll
url.dll
urlmon.dll
wininet.dll

are version 6.0.3790.0? That might explain why it won't install.

the_guy

They both have the same exact files and version numbers
so what is the PROBLEM?

6.0.3790.0 is Internet Explorer 6 for Windows Server 2003 - look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164539

Petr

Thank Petr but can you explain how they are identical in version but the new
one doesn't install but the old one does.
Keep in mind they have the same exact files package.

I'm confused. You say both, when there are 10 files.

the_guy

MDGx, does unofficial Jet 4.0 KB918144 fix also work under Win2000?
you wrote on your page that it's for Win9x/ME/NT4

the_guy is the author of this patch:

Unofficial Jet 4.0 SP8 Patch for Windows 9x/NT4/ME [1.9 MB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q918144.EXE

It is part of the last batch of files he sent me a few days ago.

I don't have Win2000 installed to test.

It does! I wrote the .SED file that way.

the_guy

Thanks.
I have changed the text to read:

Unofficial Jet 4.0 SP8 Patch for Windows 9x/NT4/ME/2000 [1.9 MB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q918144.EXE

thanks. please revise unofficial Q918144 fix to include newer MSREPL40.DLL file v4.0.9417 from Q910906 hotfix for WS2003. Note, the_guy and MDGx that we do NOT "register" the MSREPL40.DLL file with REGSVR32. I did this on any 32bit version of Windows and it produced an error message. NONE of the MS Jet 4.0 SPs and hotfixes register the MSREPL40.DLL file.

UPDATED · 11-7-2006

Updates:
- added FORMAT.COM + FDISK.EXE display fixes = FDSKFRMT.EXE
- added Explorer lockups SHELL32.DLL fix = SHELL98.EXE

SHDOCLC.DLL
is it supposed to be included in IE918899.EXE because if it is its missing from there.

No it's not. The only cumulative update that included shdoclc.dll was the update for XP pre-SP1.

There is a bug that can be seen in the service packs for 98 (Gold) and Me - the Windows version diplayed on desktop isinstead of

I'm not sure where is the root of this problem, maybe in some unofficial fix?

It should be corrected in the next (beta) release of these service packs.

It looks really terrible.

How you turn on this info on desktop!?

a) In TweakUI - General tab

b) use this REG file: http://www.mvps.org/serenitymacros/exploreroptions.html and the option should appear in internet options (not tested)

c) In registry - for the current user:
and for the default user:


According to my observations this works on Windows 98, 98SE and Me only and not in Windows 95 even though many websites states tht it work in Windows 95 - does not work for me, and none Windows 95 file contains this string (in Windows 98/Me it is in User.exe file)
In Windows NT systems (2K/XP) the value is not string type but dword type.

I downloaded the installer, extracted the MSI inside with 7-zip and executed the MSI. It installed without a glitch. I always use the "Belarc Advisor" to check wich updates are installed on my system and it's listed correct. No problems yet!
