Failed install on KB837009

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Have been trying to install this "critical update" for the last several days.
Each try shows that the download was successfully installed, but, the very
next scan of my pc doesn't pickup that this update is present. And in
checking on the update items listed in the control panel/programs, it doesn't
show there either. Not sure why this download is escaping the customary
experience for these types of adds. Any suggestions?

It could be these three need to come in, in the following sequence...

(a) Q330994
(b) Q837009
(c) Q823353 (This is 3rd, but no longer offered at Windows Update.)

And, "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Install/Uninstall tab" for me
shows...
Outlook Express Q823353
....but it was Outlook Express Q837009
....& before that Outlook Express Q330994.
....I never took Outlook Express Q887797, & I hope you didn't, either.

Do you have any of the three/four? Then, uninstall whichever is in
there, & go see what happens at Windows Update.

I think you want to end up with at least Q837009. But I have Q823353, &
Glee is considering it.

What shows up at... IE6, Help, About...

SP1, Q313829, Q328970, Q328389, Q324929, Q810847, Q813951, Q816506,
Q813489, Q330994, Q818529, Q822925, Q828750, Q824145, Q832894,
Q837009, Q831167, Q823353, Q867801, Q833989, Q834707, Q889293, Q867282,
Q891781, & Q890923.

Note how all THREE of mine show up there... Q330994, Q837009, Q823353...
& in the sequence in which they were installed. It could be sequence is
important. (But only the last shows up in Add/Remove Programs, meaning
the first two were replaced.

Uh-oh...
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;887797
Cumulative update for Outlook Express (KB887797)
....is an optional one (not offered at Windows Update) I currently do not
intend to take. I do not know I have the conditions of which it speaks,
& I do not like the rigmarole of activating bits/pieces of it.

If you have the 823353 update listed in Add\Remove Programs, uninstall it; then
also uninstall 837009 update if it is listed. After that, go to Windows Update and
install what critical updates it says you need....it should say you need 837009.
After it installs, go back to Windows Update and see if it finds anything else.
