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.

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?
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.

As auggy See Profile just noted, as well.
How is it that Windows Update let my versions get out dated?

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.

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?
