Hi Folks,

Has anyone else run into this issue? I have installed the KB822343 fix
on a Windows 2000 (SP4) Server and it still shows up as needing to be
installed (even after reboot). I've installed it on other servers, without a
problem. For some reason, it just won't take on this last server.

(FYI - I have verified that the Nsisapi.exe file is version 6.0.2600.0)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Bram
