    This is particularly directed to Bill Peele [MS]:

    I have had this same problem with this automatic update id'd in my subject
    field. It keeps coming and coming and coming.

    Has anyone looked up that Q-number in the MSKB? It has to do with WIN XP,
    of all things! Why are we WIN2K users even getting it?!

    Mr. Peele, I have now followed your first solution, as related to Greg
    Doggett and others. Some have written back and said that they tried your
    solutions and they have not worked. One of the ones I feel maybe could not
    work for me, namely your checking that the right registry keys are created.
    I noted that at least one of them referenced Service Pack 4. After the way
    that dingus crashed my one computer so I had to drop a bomb on it to make it
    serviceable again, I will NEVER let that thing onto a computer as long as I
    live, unless MS Bill & Company can certify unequivocally promise that it is
    safe. I see people, to this hour, are still having problems with SP4.
    Would I need to check a registry key that names a package that is not on my
    computer?

    I have nothing against you personally and do not in any way have any
    intention of meanness against anyone, no , not an MS tech, and certainly not
    against you, personally. BUT, notwithstanding your stated disclaimer,
    please find us poor end-users a bona-fide solution that not only should work
    but DOES work!

    Please forgive the copiousness of my diatribe, but this current particular
    problem is getting tiresome and aggravating.

    Why do we need a fix in Windows 2000 that the knowledge base record says is
    meant for Windows XP?

Paul,
I apologize for being quite so long but I have been looking into this.  The update itself, meaning the updated files, are okay 
but we have found an issue with the detection metadata code.  This is being fixed and is currently sceduled to replace the 
current package on 3/9/2004.  Once the package on the servers are replaced this update should stop re-offering itself.
Once again the only change is to the detection code of the package and not to the updated Windows files.
