Paul,
823559 was re-released 9/10 and is not *suppose* to have installation
and detection issues. Note the *suppose* to . Check in the Add\Remove
Program tool in Control Panel to see if it shows as being installed.
If it does, check the file attributes of the patch with those on your
system :
26-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 311,864 Html32.cnv
26-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 116,288 Msconv97.dll
They are located in the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\TEXTCONV folder. Right click on the files, choose Properties,
then click the Version tab to find out which version is installed on
your system.
If the files match then the patch was installed and the Windows Update
site is not recognizing it as being installed.
You can then either uninstall it and then download a "fresh" copy and
reinstall it again ( if you choose this avenue please use the method
described below for " IF the files on your system ") OR edit the
Registry to show it as installed. Editing the Registry can cause your
system to be unusable if not done correctly. If the files match and you
wish to edit the Registry, please post back and I'll give you the
instructions to do so.
" IF the files on your system " do not match the file attributes of the
patch, suggest you go here and follow the steps for Win ME AFTER
uninstalling it from Add/Remove Programs :
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319585
**Delete the contents of C:\WUTemp if present.**
NOTE: For the " Remove the Windows Update ActiveX Controls " skip step
2. The iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll are located in the WINDOWS\System
folder. Remove the Update Class file found in the WINDOWS\Downloaded
Program Files folder by right clicking it and choosing Remove. Now do
step 5 or manually download the Windows Update software controls from :
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/cab/x86/ansi/iuctl.cab
save them to your desktop. Extract the .cab file following the steps below:
1. Go to the desktop and right click the iuctl.cab file.
2. Click "Extract to."
3. Point to a known location (like the desktop) and click "OK."
4. Go to the location you selected and right click on the iuctl.inf file.
5.Click "Install."
IMPORTANT : Your antivirus program MUST be temporarily disabled prior to
the download and installation of the Windows Update ActiveX software
controls or any Windows Updates. Failure to do so will result in the
iuctl.cab file being corrupted/damaged and/or show as a 0 KB file .
Failure to do so in regards to Windows Updates will result in
damaged/corrupted downloads and damaged/corrupted/incomplete
installations. Spyblocking software (pop-up stoppers included) and
incorrectly configured firewalls may prevent access to the Windows
Update site or the attempt to download and install updates/patches,
also.
