Noel Paton wrote: ...and sure enough, WU doesn't have it for my VPC (with WMP9 installed)- although it is available from the Windows Update Catalog!! (dated 13th Feb) Noel, I'm sorry but that is totally incorrect. :-) WU does indeed have 911565 for Win Me since I have installed it. I've cut and pasted the details below. Security Update for Windows Media Player 9 for Windows 98 and Windows ME (KB911565) .. Download size: 1.9 MB, 1 minute A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system using Windows Media Player and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Read more... Likewise I see nowhere in http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS06-005.mspx anything about the patch not yet being available instead I see it stated in the FAQ "How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for these operating systems? snip Critical security updates for this platform are available and are provided as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site. For more information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site." -- Mike Maltby |

Noel,
I picked up the patch about 1½ hours ago, just around the time Harry started this thread. I'm still not clear though as to what is confusing about the statement "Critical security updates for this platform are available and are provided as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site. For more information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site" contained in the MS06-005 FAQ. Since to my simple mind this means that a critical security update for this platform (Win 9x) is available from the |WU site as indeed it is. :-) What fun! g Indeed!" -- Mike Maltby Noel Paton wrote: ....and after resetting the VPC, the Update is caught first time in WU!

read my quote , Mike - it says" updates for these platforms may not be
available concurrently with the other security updates provided as part of this security bulletin. They will be made available as soon as possible following the release." AFAICT, they had not got as far as WU when I responded - so I didn't think to look in the WUC, as the implication was that they would not be available there prior to release at WU. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Mike M" wrote in message ...

Yes. I agree. The article is worded in such a way that it covers both
cases, that is whether a patch is available or not. Since I knew that one was available for Win 9x that is how I read it, for yourself, not seeing the patch, the converse was true. :-) Cheers, -- Mike Maltby Noel Paton wrote: read my quote , Mike - it says" updates for these platforms may not be available concurrently with the other security updates provided as part of this security bulletin.

I installed that one on the 15th via
http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...092eaa33f2.exe - so I must have begun the update in WU then cancelled it in order to get the url in Windows Update.log - in order to download for offline installation.
