Hum, ... we installed the MS01-058 patch on Windows XP IE 6.0
Workstatons and our Win .Net test box, and so far so good. No problems
there at all. Maybe a badly downloaded installer file?. Hum possible..
Also, here's a question.. Anyone experiencing problems when tryin to
access v4.windows.update.microsoft.com ? It suppossed to work.. But for
us it reports it cannot install the software needed to check if we need
upgrades in our software. This is been tested on XP Workstations,
American/US using Portuguese language setup, with Office XP Professional
Enterprise.

We reported by email this problem to MS, but got no reply at all from
them. The KB article the site points to as a probable cause ( very
restrictive IE security settings ) is of course useless since the
security setup is the WinXP install default. This has reproduced itself
when installing a new box from scratch ( straight into XP, no previous
software installed ). We try to perform the "updated" install option -
meaning it connects to internet and goes to get the files from MS
windows update site - and still same problem.. No connection to the
site. We have tried it having installed both a modem ( Xp compat ) and
lan access to internet too ( lan card XP compat too ) to no avail it
still reports that it cannot do it. Btw also the Active X Control window
that supposedly should appear, does appear but not all the time.. I'd
say it pops up 1 out every 10 tries.

Anyone else got this or a similar problem running XP?

No real problems except that it wont install on a couple of computers
running W2k SP2, IE6 (from windowsupdate), SQL2000 and .NET Framework.

It only says that IE6 is not installed, but it is.

Microsoft are involved with this issue, and hopefully they'll straighten
things out.
