Re: Windows Installer 3.1 (v2) [kb893803]

MowGreen,
Tried this and it did properly install the update, but I couldn't load
Windows after. I restored to an earlier point. Am I supposed to replace the
files after restart or before? My error's a bit different. It saysit can't
access/no permission for files, including:
C:\WINDOWS\$MSI31Uninstall_KB893803v2$.
The error in the WindowsUpdate log is: 0x8024000b
