Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update

I just updated Belarc Advisor and noticed a missing critical update. A view my update history shows that Windows Update has been trying to install this patch every day since April 8th but has failed every time.

Patch in question: »support.microsoft.com/default.as···;Q944338

Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update

Are you running IE7 on Windows XP SP2?

Yes, IE7, XP SP2 is what I have installed but I run Firefox.

Is there something I missed?

Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update

Try installing Windows Script 5.7 and see if it resolves the problem:

»www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···ylang=en

Installing Windows Script 5.7 should ensure that the scripting components are at the latest version.

You should then not need KB944338.

Something somebody or some thing missed, apparently:

• Systems with Internet Explorer 7, which is delivered with VBScript.dll version 5.7 and JScript.dll version 5.7, are not affected by this vulnerability.
»www.microsoft.com/technet/securi···022.mspx

As auggy See Profile just noted, as well.

How is it that Windows Update let my versions get out dated?

Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update

It is possible that the scripting files did not properly install when you installed IE7.

It is also possible that the scripting files may have been over-written with an older version as might occur by the installation of a third party program or manually installing an older version of Windows Script.

There is a good discussion of the problem in the following link:

»www.eggheadcafe.com/software/asp···ins.aspx

Anyway, glad you got it fixed.
