No problem with 885836 at windows update. Just hfnetchk reports those missing registry entries. I also have some warnings about greater than expected file versions in hfnetchk, but I don't think this is a big deal. One more thing... As you can see in the MSXML4SP2+ latest update thread, the HFSLIP first process the hotfixes and then the other files in HF directory. But in this particular case this means that if I put both the msxml4sp2 and the its post-SP2 hotfix there, the hotfix is not applied in result because the file included in the hotfix is overwritten by the older one from msxml4sp2. Ans there might be a similar issue with media player 10 and its hotfixes. So propably it would be better to process at least some of the non-hotfix filex located in the HF directory before the hotfixes are processed. The best it bould be done with file version checking, but this is pribably beyon the abilities of the batch script.
