Re: New Microsoft Windows Installer Update?

Yeah, I installed it too.
Thanks Kayrac!

EDIT:

Issue that is addressed in Windows Installer 3.1 (v2)

• Windows Installer no longer fails silently when the installer tries to update a file that is protected by the Windows File Protection feature.

Updated my Win2k machine last evening. My WinXP Laptop, never notified me it had an update. Sounds like it will be telling me to update today when I get home.

Thanks Dadkins!

Yup. I found it sitting there, this morning, waiting to be downloaded.
Installed and rebooted with no apparent ill effect.

Re: New Microsoft Windows Installer Update?

Haven't received update alert yet, but of course I don't leave my PC on overnight, so I guess it will pick it up sometime today. I think my autoupdates are set from anywhere 2P.M. to 5P.M.

Since I still think it's unsafe to leave a PC on 24/7 so I never do it, always shutdown before I go to sleep at night.

Yep...this one's been floatin' around here.

Also reference to it in the Microsoft Forum.
»[W2K] Windows Update: Windows 3.1 Installer

I've since installed it on three XP machines...all seems well.

I don't use automatic updates, but I got the Windows 3.1 Installer as part of the April '05 Windows Updates.

Re: New Microsoft Windows Installer Update?

Just logged on, and noticed the automatic update popup. What exactly is this?

EDIT: What I meant is, what is the main purpose of the installer. I have the previous version installed, but have no clue what it was for.

Re: New Microsoft Windows Installer Update?

Thanks Dadkins,
After I posted here I saw this same topic in the Microsoft forum and realized it is a new version. I'm happy to say I now have version 2.

Re: New Microsoft Windows Installer Update?

My autoupdate still hasn't kicked in, it was set for 5P.M. Oh well I guess it will get it eventually this evening. Why doesn't autoupdate kick in at the time i set everytime there is an update is what I don't understand.
