Updates

I need assistance please with windows me updates please

Windows update is saying I require KB833989, KB873374 & KB889293 which I
have downloaded and saved to hard disc. When I go to install them, I get the
message "This update requires IE6.0SP1 to be installed".

Microsoft reports my IE is version 6.0.2800.1106, and it says I have update
versions SP1 plus many others installed. I have checked the Belarc Advisor
program as suggested in this group to other people. It indicated I needed to
reinstall some patches for windows me (done and red cross now changes to
green tick), but internet explorer listing of patches indicates "lack of
data to allow verification". Strangely, Belarc reports Internet Explorer to
be Version 5.50.4134.100

Any advice gratly appreciated

Thanks
Andrew

Andrew,

It would appear that at some stage you reinstalled Win Me over itself
where IE6 SP1 had previously been installed and did not remove IE6 first.
As a result you have a real mix of file versions as reinstalling Win Me
will have installed IE 5.5 and this is what is throwing the Windows Update
site. Note that IE 5.50.4134.100 is the version included as part of Win
Me as distributed whereas IE 6.0.2800.1106 is indeed IE 6 SP1. What you
need to do is to try and remove the remnants of IE6 and start all over.

See KB 293907 - "How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293907).

Yes, some months back I did a reinstall after a complete system freeze.
Also, I recently installed the Security Update CD to try to fix the update
problem.

I am now getting the following error when clicking remove "Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools"

Error in setupwbv.dll
Missing entry:IE6Maintenance

Any thoughts on this error?
Thanks again
Andrew

I suspect that your only way forward now is to completely remove IE, then
reinstall your preferred version - look here for instructions

Your information worked a charm. All OK now, just a shame there is not an
easier method.
Only difficulty I had was icons associated with explorer ended up with a
funny multi-connected cube icon instead of the usual 'e'.

Thanks

Great - thanks for the feedback!

Have you corrected the icon problem? try deleting the ShellIconCache file
(in C:\Windows - may be hidden) and see if that helps.

Yes icons are fixed, I changed them back manually. There was only half a
dozen or so to do.
