Re: Hooray for TheJoker !!
Automatic Update Alert ?? |
said by antiserious:
... randy, that's the dll I'm using - can you get TechNet to work? ...
TechNet works just fine: BUT .. shortly after replacing my MSHTML.DLL with TheJoker's version, I got a popup in SysTray notifying me of the above update {see pic} .. which MAY blow R2's theory that XP doesn't know or record in the Registry what version of MSHTML.DLL you're using ?? I will just ignore the alert for this "update" for now, I guess ,, until MS fixes it. Or, I may just uninstall and ignore it entirely!

R2  as I said in IM to you: No sooner had I done the same replacement on my son's Win98SE box last nite, that this morning the "popup" was there directing me to Critical Updates: same behavior as my XP machine -- it **IS** aware, in both XP and 98SE, when you change the MSHTML.DLL file!

Not necessarily... I don't believe the OS sent you that message -- instead it likely came from the Windows Update site (I suspect you use that annoying WU notification service). Given the track record of WU figuring out what updates you need, I would not believe that message. WU does NOT scan each and every one of your DLL's to determine if you need an update. That would be too time consuming. It looks for other markers.

For example, I am sitting behind a Win98 box that is NOT updated -- yet Windows Update tells me I have no critical updates. Ooops. | |
