Usually the MS bulletin will tell you but on some occasions MS misses some replacements. I keep a folder with all the updates extracted and the .inf files that contain any additional registry information. On each patch Tuesday, I download the updates manually and extract them and then search for the filenames in my extracted updates folder. If there is a match, I investigate further to see if ALL the files where replaced, the registry entries (if any) where replaced. etc etc.

For some updates, MS doesn't even think they are "replacements" at all. I have one case, KB2695962 ActiveX Kill Bits update:

(http://technet.micro...dvisory/2695962, Frequently Asked Questions)
Does this update replace the Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits (2618451)?
No, for the purpose of automatic updating, this update does not replace the Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits (2618451) that is described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-090. Automatic updating will still offer the MS11-090 update to customers regardless of whether or not they installed this update (2695962). However, customers who install this update (2695962) do not need to install the MS11-090 update to be protected with all the kill bits set in MS11-090.

although MS did say that KB2695962 contains KB2618451.

What kill bits does this Update Rollup of ActiveX Kill Bits contain?
This Update Rollup of ActiveX Kill Bits contains new kill bits and all kill bits previously released in [......] MS11-090, Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits [...].

What's it mean when KB2675157 (footnote 4) shows up on windows update, TWICE ? LOL

I will say this -X- .. I did exactly what you said with the nLite (doing that one update first/deleting nlite_in etc... and I do have a perfect install now.. I made another install (long story short) and I might have deleted something I shouldn't have but not sure yet.



I don't know if you ever noticed this but sometimes when you download an update from Microsoft, it fails but you wouldn't know it unless you checked the file size..

I tried downloading SP3 like 5 times one day and it ended up being around 200mb..

Not sure. Are you doing IE6 or IE8?

[aliceinchains]

IE8 .. No worries, I think it was the update itself that didn't download properly. MS was having a problem with their downloads as I described in the other post. I just read some stuff about it from the end of 2011,it started.
