Thanks.
Got the file using P2P. Why does MS play these kind of games? Why not just post the file so their Windows 98 customers can get them without a hassle? "Mostly Me (MM)" wrote in message ... darkrats wrote: Can someone please direct me to the latest cumulative update for IE6SP1 for 98? Update 867282 MS05-014 I'm really in need of a manual download link for this, not through Windows Update. Thanks. It doesn't appear that there is one for Win98. You'll need to launch your ISP software and its processes, modem , etc., and then use Windows Update... just remember that "to assure a clean install, your anti-virus application should be disabled and *all other running processes closed* before installing anything". Good luck with that. But, a little birdie tells me that in my TIF folder there is a functional 3.48MB file named: E6.0sp1-KB867282-Windows-98-ME-x86-ENU_82d59697d62dfa0d9a852443cbd6125[1].ex e Of course, you can't ask me to email that to you, even if that is a valid email address in your header, because it is illegal to distribute such things. ;-) MM |

They're on Netzero and AOL, which just exasperates the situation. They pay for slow service AND popups. Go figure. Why does MS play these kind of games? Why not just post the file so their Windows 98 customers can get them without a hassle? I have no idea about that. I could speculate, but what's the point? Their game, their rules, their power trip. "The Phone Company" used to behave that way too, but we've seen their fate, so just keep on smilin'. MM |

Both Windows Update and the Update Catalog do not work for me. That's why I
went looking for a manual download for the IE6 patch. "Hugh Candlin" wrote in message ... "Mostly Me (MM)" wrote in message ... darkrats wrote: Thanks. Got the file using P2P.

I didn't see it in the catalog for Win98 and the article specifically says that for Win98 is only available through Windows Updates. There were download links provided for other platforms, but not Win98, or ME for that matter. You're more than welcome to find the link on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms05-014.mspx Also, from PABear's post: "These updates are only available for Win9x users via Windows Update." BTW, there is no skulduggery involved in grabbing a file voluntarily downloaded by any entity to *my* TIF folder. Looking forward to the link from you ... MM |

Ouch to your AOL users on dial-up. Cox Cable is so nice and I am so thankful
for it. It does not go slowly like dial-up and does not have the time-outs that plagued me with Sprint DSL.
