Guest Stefan Kanthak Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Hi @ll, "Microsoft Update" just offered the update 898461 for my (german) XP SP3 system. According to MSKB 946480 this update has been included in SP3; but apparently this is wrong! Unfortunately this patch REALLY gets installed and writes OUTDATED files to my system: | C:\>dir %windir%\System32\Preinstall\WinSE\wxp_x86_0407_v1 | Datenträger in Laufwerk C: ist WINDOWS | Volumeseriennummer: 2C36-0AF4 | | Verzeichnis von C:\WINDOWS\System32\Preinstall\WinSE\wxp_x86_0407_v1 | | 27.05.2008 20:38 <DIR> . | 27.05.2008 20:38 <DIR> .. | 25.02.2005 05:34 15.584 spmsg.dll.ref | 25.02.2005 05:34 213.216 spuninst.exe.ref | 25.02.2005 05:34 22.752 spupdsvc.exe.ref | 25.02.2005 05:34 22.240 spcustom.dll.ref | 25.02.2005 05:34 727.776 update.exe.ref | 25.02.2005 05:34 378.080 updspapi.dll.ref | 6 Datei(en) 1.379.648 Bytes | 2 Verzeichnis(se), 10.514.202.624 Bytes frei | | C:\>filever %windir%\System32\Preinstall\WinSE\wxp_x86_0407_v1 | c:\windows\system32\preinstall\winse\wxp_x86_0407_v1\ . | ----- W32i DLL DEU 6.1.22.4 shp 15,584 02-25-2005 spmsg.dll.ref | ----- W32i APP DEU 6.1.22.4 shp 213,216 02-25-2005 spuninst.exe.ref | ----- W32i APP ENU 6.1.22.4 shp 22,752 02-25-2005 spupdsvc.exe.ref | ----- W32i APP ENU 6.1.22.4 shp 22,240 02-25-2005 spcustom.dll.ref | ----- W32i APP DEU 6.1.22.4 shp 727,776 02-25-2005 update.exe.ref | ----- W32i DLL DEU 6.1.22.4 shp 378,080 02-25-2005 updspapi.dll.ref The current version of all these files, as delivered with XP SP3 for example, are but 6.3.13.0, their timestamps are 2007-08-10 20:4[45]!

The problem is: Why does "Microsoft Update" (I suspect plain "Windows Update will too) offer an update with OUTDATED files? The WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-%LCID%.exe available from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en too has not been updated for XP SP3. As counter example: 892130 gets updated on regular basis. Apparently nobody at MSFT really cares about trustworthy computing.

It's a suggestion or proposition to thinking people. <span style="color:blue"> > My favorite part to quote of that document... > "October 1995"</span> If you think that RFC is outdated: I suppose you are very welcome to write an update and submit it to the RFC editor. <span style="color:blue"> > I remember 1995.
