said by kw  :Wrong. They don't let you do anything (I tried it on my computer) Just let your XP set to Automatically Receive Updates. It should work. Only on critical updates though...

notice the words...Criteria = "IsInstalled=0 and IsHidden=1"
so its a hidden install right
i found the file on HD as:
\Windows\Installer\e9ce5.msi
this gives the details
Installation Database
Windows Genuine Advantage v1.3.0254.0
Installer, MSI, Database
Microsoft Corporation
{9606A54A-74F2-4CEE-BEF1-147C479507E6}
searching through the reg ifound this...the temp file
"InstallSource"="H:\\DOCUME~1\\ADMINI~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\IXP000.TMP\\"
anyway theres an uninstall string in the reg
at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\9EC9653600AFC964FAC55E4D9DA3FC19]
"UninstallString" =MsiExec.exe /I{63569CE9-FA00-469C-AF5C-E5D4D93ACF91}
ok so does running this uninstall string at the run command uninstall this shit or what???
MsiExec.exe /I{63569CE9-FA00-469C-AF5C-E5D4D93ACF91} |

Could you believe it!!? When I tried to download DirectX SDK Dec 2005 release using Firefox, it can get through. »www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···yLang=en
But you need to download WGAPluginInstall.exe plugin for FF (available at Microsoft, upon downloading softwares), so the site can verify/validate the windows.
Still you can't use FF for the windows update site though, exclusively for IE.  :)

Duluth, GA | So how do those consumers in Europe, that have the ability to buy Windows with IE, get updayes for their operating system? Are you saying that Microsoft requires IE to get operating system support or you are SOL? |

Well I used the previously posted information and enabled the showing of hidden files. I then went to the \Windows\Installer\ directory and viewed details sorted by date modified. I located the *.msi file that matched the time I installed the patch and did a right-click uninstall on it from the menu. The last thing I did was to go in and delete the remaining keys from the registry...and

| Guys, the new Windows Update does no longer allowed pirated copies to be updated even the WGA ActiveX is disabled in Tools menu.
Thus, its time for you to get/buy original now...
However, there is still a way around this method (although automatic update is not supported)...
Just install firefox,mozilla,opera and use »www.windizupdate.com/ to get recent windows update...
no hacking is needed...

ohh nice links, thx for the sharing
anyway I thought that they do post some patches a bit late than microsoft rite? But wth, still can do patching that's the main thing to consider.

| yupe...the patch by the site is not up to date... it takes few hrs/day for the patch to go through...
if you still want 'live' update, there are few ways to do it.. but require 'hacking' which might be problematic for noobies

In Europe, Microsoft was forced by the court to sell Windows without IE. This version is not selling well. |
