Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433) -failed

Just tried install "critical updates" from ms site, all done, except
'Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433)' - this failed, "No Updates
Were Installed" message.
I have no any newest version of 'macromedia player', only default one that
was in windows 98SE. If that is an issue, why microsoft update technology
canno first check is the appropriate macromedia product installed on target
pc or not?

All the king's MVPs & all the king's men won't get MS to fix anything now-- not for Win98!

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-020
Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe Could Allow Remote Code Execution (913433)

I see no evidence this was ever offered to me. It DOES appear to be in the Catalog...
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

I guess it isn't offered to me because I have an updated version of Macromedia Flash. I'm thinking your version is... maybe not fully installed. Therefore, the update is offered but fails. How do things look in...?...

"Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup tab, Multimedia Components".

Looks like I'm checked there for "Macromedia Shockwave", but unchecked for "Macromedia Shockwave Flash".

(1) Take both, & try the critical update, or
(2) Forget Add/Remove & the critical update. Go to Adobe, instead, for a higher version.

The original article you referred to:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=913433
explains what to do....install the latest version of Flash Player from Adobe, or
rename the flash files if you don't view Flash web pages.

"Visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update home pages. Locate the

No such "plus sign" selector next to the update there and no "Don’t show me

entry.
MS even can no check is this appropriate program version installed on target
Pc or not..

(I swear I answered this before somewhere.)

Short story: The Flash version you have installed isn't subject to the
vulnerability addressed by 913433. Then why did WU offer it to you? Dunno.

The article covers both WinXP and Win98/ME. It states to use *one* of the
applicable methods.....not all of them will apply to all the covered operating
systems. The option you describe is only available on the version of Windows Update
used for WinXP, so obviously that method is not applicable to Win9x.


There are "Choose which categories and updates

entry.

I have no idea why it appears when you scan for updates if it is not applicable to
your version of Flash.....but remember that Flash is an Adobe product, not a
Microsoft product, and a fix should actually have come from Adobe, not MS. I'm not
sure why you expect Windows Update to determine what version of a third-party
software is installed on your system. Perhaps you should be complaining to Adobe
about it rather than MS.

Glen, do you think it is possible the user has more than one version of
Flash installed?
