Hi,
I installed those MS updates yesterday on my W98SE (Dutch).
I do have new files (report from NIS File Check):
Application: c:\windows\system\kb891711\kb891711.exe
Status: New added
Version old: 4.10.2222
Size old: 9056
Date old: 2005-02-22 18:07:56
RMD160 Hash old: A79998C78A8C2DA1B7C7504F593B56CD29A4E1C5
Application: c:\windows\options\cabs\hlink.dll
Status: New added
Version old: 5.2.3790.227 (srv03_qfe.040918
Size old: 68608
Date old: 2004-11-16 13:35:36
RMD160 Hash old: B29114D0F93512562AAB885D3B800BB075408CFD
Application: c:\windows\system\kb891711\q891711.dll
Status: New added
Version old: 4.10.2222
Size old: 4288
Date old: 2005-02-18 09:53:06
RMD160 Hash old: F6A69FFF80047E05801523445506CFC501AD6B30
And some files were changed.
As for this one:
c:\windows\system\kb891711\kb891711.exe
That one is now running all the time.
I wonder whether others (either on W98SE or XP) see that same one.
Note:
My file integrity checker NIS File Check checks several thousands of files.
I still have to run my other file integrity checker ADinf32 pro, that checks ALL files.
Thanks !
Cheers, Jan. |

kudos:2 | I agree. On my box:
The following files are installed/updated -
[C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM]
hlink.dll 5.2.3790.22
[C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS]
HLINK.DLL 5.2.3790.22
[c:\windows\INF\QFE\W98]
888113UN.INF
891711UN.INF
[C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB891711]
KB891711.EXE
Q891711.DLL
KB891711.EXE is then run as a service at each boot. Several other registry changes are made. |

Oooops... my bad!  I have a small utility that monitors the root, \Windows, and \Windows\System folders for any added files, but it ignores added folders and any contained files - so it missed the ones you noted. I erred in relying alone on its output during my quick check of installation changes, and forgot about checking for possible added folders. Indeed, they too were added/altered just as with your listing. Sorry for the confusion...

said by SUMware: KB891711.EXE is then run as a service at each boot. Several other registry changes are made. I'm guessing that the KB891711.exe being run as a service is how MS is validating cursors, animated cursors, and icons "on the fly" as their patch methodology, at least for Win98. It's still unclear to me why you had problems on your system, but it's possible that the patch uninstall isn't "clean", so that any problems that were created are not removed via Add/Remove.

kudos:2 | Exactly, that's why I manually deleted newly installed files, restored old files & registry, etc.
This is very irritating. |
