I also had this issue and the solution I found was to search for and download
the latest MDAC build, which at this time is MDAC 2.8 SP1. You can find it
here:

once I installed this and installed that KB patch again, it stuck and was
fine.

How does one "hide the update"? Thanks.

Hello:
I have the issue under control and wanted to put up the answer incase
someone else reads this.
Today I was able to contact the development team for our company software.
When I explained the issue I was given the reason why this is happening.
Turns out that in the past when I downloaded the windows updates I got that
update before a newer version of our software come out. Our software
includes a newer version of the MDAC file than what windows is trying to
update to. This causes the update to fail but not really. It does try to
install but does not actually do anything. The first thing that tipped me
off was I downloaded the the stand alone update then tried to apply it. When
I did I got the notice that the file I had was newer than the file in the
update. It did not finish.
Turns out that somehow windows update can not determine that there is
actually a file on the machine newer than the available update so it just
keeps telling you to get it. I was told just to simply hide the update in

I bring this up because it could happen to anyone that has a program that
updates MDAC within their files.
There is a work around for the next time I rebuild a 2000 machine and maybe
even an XP so I can get rid of this update and not have to hide it. That
work around is to make sure I update windows with KB832483 before I install
our company software. Then the software will override that file but windows
will not fight it because it was put in.

Hello:
I just spent the entire night rebuilding our windows 2000 server machine.
This is a clean machine with no internet activity before the updates.
Everything on the machine is known software and was the same as before.
However now I have downloaded and installed all of the updates except the
KB832483, it refuses to install. The update history shows that it
installed both from automatic and windows update sites. The update does
not appear to be installed however because it does not show in Add/Remove
programs. I never had this problem with this update before the rebuild.
I have searched the web for references to this issue. I find several from
when the update first came out everyone of them listed the problem but
none had a solution to the issue.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? I really need to get this
machine up and running before everyone comes in Monday morning. I also
have another 2000 server to rebuild tonight as well hope it don't have the
same issues.
Thanks
Vince
