Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / May 2007KB867801 (2004) offered in Windows 2000 SP4 after getting updates today.
Hello, Another user (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18303288) and I are having problems with KB867801 that keeps saying it is installed successfully after getting today's new updates for Windows 2000 SP4. Rerunning Windows Update result it is available to install (already downloaded in cache). I tried downloading the EXE file manually and running it without Windows Update, and the installer tells me I need IE6.0 SP1. Well, I already have IE6.0 SP1 installed and for years! I noticed the KB document (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4C2F8A40-1B88-4F93-98B1 -1619DCFD7273&displaylang=en) was from 2004 so it's old. What's going on and how do I fix it (or is it MS' fault?)? Thank you in advance. :)  Signature"When the ants unite their mouths, they can carry an elephant." --Mossian Proverb /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phillip (Ant) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Remove ANT from e-mail address: philpi@earthlink.netANT ( ) or ANTant@zimage.com Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer.

You may try http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/Q867801-WUFix.zip for a q&d fix. Download the file and extract the containing "Q867801-WUFix.reg". Afterwards double click the REG file and let it merge into the registry. Finally shut down all opened IE windows and see if WU/AU still offers KB/Q867801. I've informed the MSRC by mail about the issue I can confirm for Windows 2000 systems, depending on their update history.

I think I will wait for MS fix. :) I don't want to get an unofficial workaround that causes more problems later on. :) Thanks though.

I bet you don't find an ";Q867801;" entry when looking in IE via "?/Help -> Info -> Update versions", right? That's what the q&d fix fixes. Nothing more or less. It "may" last some time, until MS get's WU fixed... > Thanks though. YW, Freudi > "Ant" <philpi@earthlink.netANT> schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > right? That's what the q&d fix fixes.

I'm having the same problem, and I used the file you mentioned, but now Windows Update is pestering me for a different update, KB831167. I've actually had to shut off Automatic Updates to prevent putting my fist through the screen after that icon pops up again. I don't suppose you'd have a fix for this, too, would you? > "Ant" <philpi@earthlink.netANT> schrieb: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Bye, > Freudi "Stuart Porter" <Stuart Porter@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb: > I'm having the same problem, and I used the file you mentioned, but now > Windows Update is pestering me for a different update, KB831167. While I fear the next old updates will be offered by the amok running WU detection mechanism for IE6 SP1 updates, I've just updated the Q867801-WUFix.zip to include Q832894 and Q831167: http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/Q867801-WUFix.zip You may want to test that, but it's really clear, that "someone" at MS needs to fix the WU detection problems on their end. Bye, Freudi > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > What's going on and how do I fix it (or is it MS' fault?)? Thank you in > advance. :) Hello again I`ve got simlar Problems to you. Windows 2000 Kulminatives Sicherheitsupdate für Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB832894) does not install propper, the update repeats every few moments. Today, whenever downloaded an update, i was askt to install IE6 SP1 before downloading update that is concerning to it, but ist is allready installed. Perhaps the Problem is quite equal with "Stampit" a service of the German "Post", where the Server is allways off/out of reach when i want to print a stamp/postage. Microsoft Update Website and Stampit Support do not work either. If you can, please dont let me keep you to give the nice advice.

Moin Holger, guckst Du http://groups.google.de/groups?threadm=5aeds5F2olakeU1%40mid.individual.net Bye, Freudi SignatureMacht euer Windows sicherer: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com - jetzt! http://www.microsoft.com/germany/sicherheit/ Infos zu aktuellen Patches für IE, OE und WinXP: http://patch-info.de Letzte Aktualisierung: IE - 08.05.07 / OE - 12.12.06 / WinXP - 08.05.07 Hey peoples I've got the same problem on my Win2K machine, Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB832894), but I don't speak Deutche (to follow the link below). Tried to install the update manually but told I need to install SP1 (which is already installed). Tried installing the update for IE6 (no SP1) and told that this update only works for WindowsXP. Tried re-installing IE6SP1 but told this update is already installed. Shall I install the patch as discussed in the realier threads relating to KB867801? http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/Q867801-WUFix.zip Or is there a better way?

That's usually your clue that you don't need to install whatever it is that you are trying to install. Instead of giving a clear reason for failure updates try to be "helpful" and guess at the most likely reason for that symptom and then state *that* reason as the thing that you ought to do to fix the problem. > Tried installing the update for IE6 (no SP1) and told that this update only > works for WindowsXP. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Or is there a better way? Figure out why WU thinks you need the update and change that? Supposedly verbose mode helps with that (Ref. KB902093) but I have never been able to decipher some of the things it shows. I have more luck using ProcMon to supplement the logging (e.g. registry and file accesses which lead to each log record) in which case then the verbose logging would be just extra information to interleave with that. The last time that this happened with your OS it was a rollup that didn't have all the necessary pre-requisites understood. Dave Hawley used the above technique to figure those out. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/00d6dcccecd2952c (Google Groups search for dave hawley "pre-requisites" group:microsoft.*.windowsupdate ) <extract> > I downloaded and installed MBSA version 1.2.1, which is still available. > This scanned and told me that two components of Windows were out of date. > These were MS Data Access Components 2.8, which needed to be upgraded to > SP1, and MSXML 4.0, which needed to be upgraded to SP2. > MBSA 2.0 had not caught this at all! > I installed the updates, and the problem has gone away! </extract> Probably that resolution will have to be updated by whatever new set of pre-requisites is not understood by the update that you are trying to install. Good luck Robert Aldwinckle --- "Robert Aldwinckle" <robald@techemail.com> schrieb: >> Or is there a better way? > > Figure out why WU thinks you need the update and change that? Because of "missing" hyperfluend version numbers of updates in the "MinorVersion" key. WU suddenly insists on these values: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MinorVersion"=";SP1;Q823353;Q832894;Q831167;Q867801;" Otherwise it will reoffer the whole bunch of outdated "Cumulative Updates" for IE running in Windows 2000 *although* KB931768 has been successfully installed. It's WU beeing on error and nothing to be fixed finally on the user's end.

Cause theses updates are very, very old updates (dated sometime around 2004/2005) which have been replaced various times by later released Cumulative Updates for IE - and you have applied the Update Rollup for Windows 2000 SP4.
