Security Updates CD and Windows Update
OK, I downloaded the iuctl.CAB from a link in the WU.log from a ME
system. None of the files are changed from August, 2003. So, any change in their behavior would have to do with updates for IE. The mystery deepens.  MG Gary S. Terhune wrote: Ayup! Very concisely and precisely.

Security Updates CD and Windows Update
And remember... Only on clean install of ME. Win98/98SE have no problems. I
don't know what would happen if I installed some intermediate version of IE, nor do I know what would happen if I took all the other updates first, then tried IE6... Or did I already do that one? Gonna have to check my notes... -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote in message ... OK, I downloaded the iuctl.CAB from a link in the WU.log from a ME system.

Security Updates CD and Windows Update
I did several clean installs of 98 "Gold", 98SE and ME. *Only* on ME does
this "stuck at 0% scan" problem occur, and *only* if I visit WU and install the controls before installing IE6. That's it in a nutshell. You're old? We're gonna have to get together and compare wrinkles, double-chins, and pot bellies, snicker. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote in message ...

It's an insider joke from the Summit, Mum.

Good info, Bro. What you describe has convinced me that the ActiveX
update that is now included in IE6 is the issue. It hoses the ActiveX software controls that are previously installed. So, it would behoove one to get IE6 installed first, then the software controls from WU. Risky business if one hasn't first installed the System Restore update that fixes SR restore points made after September 8, 2001 right ? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290700 MG Gary S.
