He said that the update KB942615 was intended for personal computers running
a different Windows operating system such as Windows ME and not the Windows
XP operating system. The problem is that the update KB942615 incorrectly
tries to install on computers running the Windows XP operating system. Since
it was not intended for Windows XP users, it causes the errors.
Sorry, I don't want to be rude nor offend *you*, but that's plain nonsense.
There's no support for Windows 98/Me since July 2006 by MS anyway and yes,
KB942615 for IE6 running on Windows XP SP2 *is* an update that fixes several
more or less serious security holes - but has a bug in it's "compilation".
To workaround the issue, you may want to followup the following thread:
http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=uMMymIgPIHA.292%40TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl
Once again: Please note, that the issue dealed with in the thread linked to
above deals with IE6 running on Windows XP SP2 and having KB942615 for that
very configuaration applied! It does *NOT* deal with IE6 running on Windows
2000 nor IE7 running on any other Windows platform.
Bye,
