installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
Okay, the last postings have now died, lost in the obscurity of thousands of
postings. (constant problems ole32,shell32,other) To keep it simpler to post any replies, I have assigned ISSUES. Please use these for general comprehension purposes. Issues 1 -Time to re-address the issues of inability to download using v4 in either normal or from catalog for the 90???? critical updates. Moreover, there are still the problems associated with java script (which appears to be the v4 problem, and other sites which use java [IE indicates/notes script errors]) and other issues (such as need to reload (user and password) secure sites twice before entry is allowed [such as hotmail/passport), and having to post to groups, such as this, via offline entries. Before recommending re-installing from scratch, I advise of the problems associated with that. The major problem is that my program files dir is at 5.56 gig WITHOUT installer and IE installation/uninstallation files, e.g. months of work to re-install all these programs, which ARE necessary for the various types of work that I do, some of which requires INSTANT responses. Been directed to or have worked through most of the supposed fixes/work arounds found here and elsewhere (such as Microsoft troubleshooter and Knowledge base) regarding these issues; not stating I absolutely have, as there are several hundred(?) suggested. Moreover, dealing with apparently several different problems, I am getting the impression that some of these fixes/work arounds may be causing additional problems. I needn't re-address the IE 6 issue, I hope. Issues 2 - As an additional issue, I receive this error now when trying to install or reinstall programs, or upgrades to existing programs: "An installation support file could not be installed. Interface not registered." (such as when trying to re-install the Dreamweaver 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade [MX suite]) Issues 3 - As an aside, has anyone tried to install the missing dlls called by IE 6 to see if that corrects the errors? I do have XP available to "borrow" these files from if that might be a viable fix. If so, how would these files be registered, and will they cause new problems? General aspects - So, guys and girls, what say? Let's keep this civil and lucid, what are the best shots at fixing these problems WITHOUT several months of apparent useless uninstallations and/or re-installations? [BTW - thanks again Mae and others for the prior info, even if none of it helped] |

installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
ISSUE 3 - IE 6 installation - the missing dlls a apphelp.dll,
userenv.dll, uxtheme.dll The reason for the questions a I now longer have a test box to try this replacement/test installation with (though I used to have 5 to test various OSs). The XP files are called (due to verified file replacement with XP and other OS files) by numerous programs and parts of WIN98, including Explorer. [This is what testers used to do (us old geezers) to find errors and answers for Microsoft, and future users (now us locked into failing systems)] So, any help out there? Someone still running throw-away 98 systems to test this with? Issues 1 and 2: To answer this and further potential questions and/or suggestions: Per Belarc Advisor Microsoft Corporation - Windows Installer Version 2.0.2600.2 Microsoft (r) Windows Script Host Version 5.6.0.8825 (BTW: thanks to who ever was recommending this, seems to be a good prog for this type of activity, though I, personally, would NOT be connected to the internet when using it. Call it what you will, but I prefer to be overly cautious. Anyone know if there is a potential BHO or other hijack potential?) Regretfully, due to the new problems in IE this had to be hand edited, as I can not save certain (or possibly any) forms of web pages (such as txt) from IE.

I did not check the other files for system/other, looking only for XP or possible XP file versions (except as otherwise noted), however, the numbering in some files appears to be Millennium or other operating systems, in addition to those which are or were weighed as Win98/95. Nor did I check the present files on my system. That, at present, is unimportant. Additionally, I did not bother to check for all errors being produced, that also is unnecessary at this point in time, service is still being supplied to these OSs. Though all these files may not have been installed, most have been on any system which installed IE 6. I think we can see from the base installation of IE 6.0, that any system other than XP has been, or might be, seriously compromised at it's base system level. Which happens to be the exact reason for the previous extensions, and the Second Edition upgrade. Win98 undeniably has been (anyone still using 95?, it's toast), Millennium probably has been, NT may have been, 2000 may have been, etc. deleted material Does that answer your question?

installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
Well, I must say you are persistent, the question you asked:
" I'm at a loss to understand why any Win9x system should be calling uxtheme - this file is peculiar to Windows XP AFAIK! Have you by any chance installed in incorrect version of some program?" As ANYONE, on ANY system which does NOT protect against installation of "wrong" system files,; who installed IE 6 SP1, installed these files. Shwapi.dll is used by most if not ALL Windows programs, AND IE, Explorer, and dozens of other Windows and Windows based programs use and/or call these files, as are these other XP files; AND these files do call for these missing dlls, and missing functions; THEN, the installation of these XP files, which was done in any OS which installed IE 6, are calling for non-existent functions and non-existent dlls, THEREFORE, if you had followed the previous postings, you would have noticed, that a style of debug program had been used to detect these errors, and TRACE the problem to its root cause. Moreover, per Microsoft own certification standards, these files can NOT and could not be installed in any OS except XP, as they are unverified and un-certifiable for installation. Why? Because they cause errors. They are NOT compatible. NOW for the "rest of the story" from the deleted segment: " So, if I had to guess, there are probably several dozen attorneys waiting patiently for Microsoft to officially declare that the support is over for these systems, That would violate the prior court orders and be undeniable contempt of court. Moreover, this would be reasonable cause for further action. Lots of money for the attorneys again, and another big loss for Microsoft. So for Microsoft, it's apparent best option, is to do a Third Edition upgrade for 98 with certified and validated files, and ensure that all installations necessary to correct any bugs, flaws, or breaches, are verified and certified to 98, and the other operating systems it has compromised. That being, during (Microsoft is not going to like this) the period which it must supply to ensure the bugs, flaws, and breaches can be repaired. A reasonable time period? Probably what the court originally set out in it's ruling. Why would I say that? Because it happens to be the cheapest route for Microsoft. However, as this is the second time it has broken this system, it would appear necessary that it do so absolutely free. {Send in your address with verifiable system purchase {I happen to have two verified in their data base), they send you the free cdrom, no charge.] Again, IE 6 was, what, 2002, under Microsoft recommendation. and generally installed via it's own upgrade site? It does not matter that is was optional, it was presented as a recommended safe installation. {Sorry Bill, just trying to be helpful, and save the business another class action Lawsuit.)" [end quote] Of course, should you wish to dispute this, there is a readily available forum, which you may not be exactly qualified to "play" in. BTW: a EULA does not protect anyone or any thing from review, nor does an "end of life". Bit of a hint here. Curious why I might have suggested this? Search for peoplescounsel on the web. I would put the address here, but this apparently would NOT get posted if I did. In fact, it will be interesting to see if not posting the address, but suggesting looking there, will allow this to be posted. Other postings which did have the address were NOT allowed posting, e.g. filtered out by the forum or Microsoft. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
Back to the original posting - Okay?
ISSUES 1 I have now been directed at least four times to the update site at v4 by IE. However, the errors/whatever, will not allow downloading the normal way OR from the catalog.

Please use these for general comprehension purposes. Issues 1 -Time to re-address the issues of inability to download using v4 in either normal or from catalog for the 90???? critical updates. Moreover, there are still the problems associated with java script (which appears to be the v4 problem, and other sites which use java [IE indicates/notes script errors]) and other issues (such as need to reload (user and password) secure sites twice before entry is allowed [such as hotmail/passport), and having to post to groups, such as this, via offline entries. Before recommending re-installing from scratch, I advise of the problems associated with that. The major problem is that my program files dir is at 5.56 gig WITHOUT installer and IE installation/uninstallation files, e.g. months of work to re-install all these programs, which ARE necessary for the various types of work that I do, some of which requires INSTANT responses. Been directed to or have worked through most of the supposed fixes/work arounds found here and elsewhere (such as Microsoft troubleshooter and Knowledge base) regarding these issues; not stating I absolutely have, as there are several hundred(?) suggested. Moreover, dealing with apparently several different problems, I am getting the impression that some of these fixes/work arounds may be causing additional problems. I needn't re-address the IE 6 issue, I hope. Issues 2 - As an additional issue, I receive this error now when trying to install or reinstall programs, or upgrades to existing programs: "An installation support file could not be installed.

(such as when trying to re-install the Dreamweaver 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade [MX suite]) Issues 3 - As an aside, has anyone tried to install the missing dlls called by IE 6 to see if that corrects the errors? I do have XP available to "borrow" these files from if that might be a viable fix. If so, how would these files be registered, and will they cause new problems? General aspects - So, guys and girls, what say?

installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
The KB905915 and KB908519 files for Win9x are available only from Windows
Update, and the Windows Update Catalogue - AFAIK, there are currently no plans to make them available for external download (although this may change before June). -- 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 "MEB" meb@not wrote in message ...

installation, java problems, and still unable to download from v4update
I am now at a total loss as to exactly what you are trying to achieve!
The IE6 installer will NOT install incorrect file versions on your PC - it's designed to pick the versions it needs from the CAB files and install them. If you have somehow managed to set up your system in some manner to spoof the OS then that is very definitely your problem, and not the OS's - however, it's also irrelevant, as what I was hoping to get from you was some meaningful information, rather than a confused diatribe. -- 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 "MEB" meb@not wrote in message ... Well, I must say you are persistent, the question you asked: " I'm at a loss to understand why any Win9x system should be calling uxtheme - this file is peculiar to Windows XP AFAIK! Have you by any chance installed in incorrect version of some program?" As ANYONE, on ANY system which does NOT protect against installation of "wrong" system files,; who installed IE 6 SP1, installed these files. Shwapi.dll is used by most if not ALL Windows programs, AND IE, Explorer, and dozens of other Windows and Windows based programs use and/or call these files, as are these other XP files; AND these files do call for these missing dlls, and missing functions; THEN, the installation of these XP files, which was done in any OS which installed IE 6, are calling for non-existent functions and non-existent dlls, THEREFORE, if you had followed the previous postings, you would have noticed, that a style of debug program had been used to detect these errors, and TRACE the problem to its root cause. Moreover, per Microsoft own certification standards, these files can NOT and could not be installed in any OS except XP, as they are unverified and un-certifiable for installation. Why? Because they cause errors. They are NOT compatible. |
