Thank you very much Noel for the information.
DUH on my part regarding I.E.
I have just been overwhelmed lately in getting my PC to function as it had
been prior to the 4/11's release of KB911562 and KB912812.
Thank you again!

The update status WRT the MDAC updates is perfectly as expected in your
circumstances.
The update is not a patch for IE, and therefore won't appear in the
AboutIE
listing.
Updates do not always appear in the Add/Remove listing - usually because
such updates are not designed to be removable, for a number of (good)
reasons.

Hello Mike,

I want to give you further information regarding the automatic update
that
I
wrote previously to you about, for which I have yet to receive a reply.
As
of
now, 4/27/06, the status of my system according to the Windows update
site
indicates "There are no critical updates available at this time."

As I mentioned to you, I got a successful install message at my desktop
for
the "automatic update" for KB911562 on 4/26/06. However, when I went to
the
Windows update site and viewed my installation history, it shows that
this
failed (source: automatic update). I want to note the descrition:

"Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 (KB911562)"

Whereby, on 4/25/06, the installation history shows there was a
successful
update (source: web site) and note the description:

"Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack
1
(KB911562) "

Comments?

And to recap previous posts of this thread, I installed on 4/25/06
MDAC
2.8
SP1 and then installed KB911562 in order to allow my HP scanner
software
to
function correctly (without script errors). As the installation history
shows, KB911562's source was from web site.

I do not find any reference to KB911562 in control panel, add/remove
programs nor in "about I.E.". Is this normal?

Looking forward to your pearls of wisdom.

Thank you!

Kathie,

In a word, yes. Not that there haven't occasionally been problems
with
updates, the 911562 update for MDAC 2.8 being a prime example.

Cheers and the best of luck,

Another question!!!
When I get the notification (globe symbol in system tray) and click
on it to take me to the windows update site; and have the scan
performed; the site knows which version to install on my PC? I have
been using this functionality as opposed to my manually searching
for
the update. Your information is excellent, since I could easily
download the incorrect update had I searched manually for it.

I will await your reply, confirming most likely what I believe to be
true: using the windows update site, it will know which update to
use.
