Well, my entire SQA group is being affected by this
issue. This particular hotfix was sucessfully installed
on all of our W2k SP3 workstations and W2K sp3 server in
Oct. (we are using a SUS server) In Feb. we started
getting daily messages saying to install 811493 again. We
have tried every solution offered, and verified all
registry settings etc. but to no avail. As a result, we
no longer have a "KNOWN, GOOD" OS configuration with which
to test our products. We have resorted to installing SP4
on all of our machines, which means WE are no longer
testing our software in what we have published as "the
minimmum supported OS configuration". God help us now,
because Microsoft can't seem to.
