Microsoft Security Bulletin for June 05

Hi guys,

It's time to pay a visit to http://update.microsoft.com
6 High priority upgrades are waiting for you

Cheers

 

For more details: http://msmvps.com/xperts64/archive/2005/06/14/52857.aspx

 

Better yet, go to Microsoft's new update service, name Microsoft Update, at:

http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate

This new update service will not only check Windows Updates, but also other
Microsoft products as well (ie: Microsoft Office, Microsoft Server,
Microsoft Exchange, if you have these).

Yeah, some us have to manually go to the Windows Update website to get the
updates.

Is it safe to install that version of Windows Update on the 32-bit
version of WinXP Pro SP2?

It's already installed on my 64-bit version, but I wonder why it
doesn't automatically gets updated when I visit Windows Update from
WinXP Pro SP2. SP2 still uses the V5-version of Windows Update.

 

Yes, it is, it's working here without problem for months already, I was on
the beta program.

Cheers

 

Yes, it's safe. Microsoft has the link I listed for those that want to
opt-in now. Those that don't will get the updated version no matter what
this coming July.

The reason for my paranoia is caused by an incident about the
time where SP2 for WinXP was ready to go RTM. It came with
the V5 version of Windows Update, but it didn't work very well
on my SP1 installation back then.

Cheers.

 

Christian Hougardy got up from the bar and shouted: :

Just make sure you visit in 32bit IE, not 64bit IE..

 

it only finds 5 when i update

 

All of these are going to take me a good while to download on dial up for 32
bit Windows XP. :-(

Yes, it does. If you are running an illegel version of Windows, you will not
be able to receive updates through the Microsoft Update Website (Automatic
Updates will still work, however). I was in the Microsoft Update Beta
Program as well.

 

All of mine installed.

In

That has been a complaint since the start of Windows Update - large files
coming down over a modem is not a pretty picture.

Right, the 6th one is for Outlook 2k3

 

so it's not for xp64 ?

 

No, it's not, it was a critical update but for outlook 2003

 

So you have to be running Outlook 2003 which comes as part of the Office
2003 suite.
