Re: KB923694 still keeps installing

This is my post following steps 1 and 2 of your instructions above.
I restored to a much earlier date (Feb. 27) because I'm not sure when I
started uninstalling/reinstalling all those hotfixes to make them stop
popping up. So, to start afresh before I follows steps 3 and 4 above, I
made sure that KB911567, KB929123, and KB941202 were not installed.

msoe.dll was version 6.0.2900.3138 before the system restore/uninstalls.
It rolled back to 6.0.2900.3028 afterwards.

Will post later after I do step 3.

This is my post after steps 3 and 4:
After an MS Update Custom scan, MSUpdate offered KB911597 (WinDefender),
KB929300 (MS.NET Framework 3.0 SP1), KB941202 (MSOE).
I unchecked KB941202 and installed the other two.

Well, all sorts of things went wrong, both on your end and mine (i.e., a typo in one of my earlier replies). In any event, I'd like to get back to a somewhat cleaner state, please.

1. Please delete C:\KB941202.EXE <=this file.

2. Download the installer for KB941202 once more, saving it to your desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3ed7f466-78c7-4251-ba24-8ae71ad54e18

3. Reboot into Safe Mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406)

4. Without any renaming, etc., this time around, simply double-click on the desktop file WindowsXP-KB941202-x86-ENU.exe to install the update.

5. Reboot into normal (Windows) mode.

6. Post a reply to this thread using OE.
