Re: kb967715

This is pretty funny. Never have I encountered such a messed up MS
update. Must have been an intern or co-op student project. I feel
sorry for the millions of users out there who have no idea their
computer is being bombarded by this update for ever more.

I've tried solution after solution from all over the net with no
resolve so far. I don't mind these little challenges as they help one
learn more about these wonderful machines, but this one is something
else. I'll be watching with amusement to see if Microsoft fixes this
little fiasco in the future. Too bad, because it could be an important
security fix for the system.

I have two XP machines that will not not allow KB967715 OR KB950582.
Just Get Access Denied, backs out of install, and no record of it ever
being installed in add/remove progs. Funny thing is, it installed fine
on a W2K computer I have. Go figure.

Not looking for a direct answer here, but if someone has a 100% fool
proof fix to this screw up, go ahead and post. I'll do the same if I
happen to stumble on it before MS$$$ decides to fix it.

Happy computing.
