    Re: Patch Install Sequence for Win2k post SP4 patches and Win XP Post SP2
    patches

    I have downloaded the patches and the latest service pack.

    Please validate the following sequence:

    Step-1.Apply latest service pack and Reboot.
    Step-2. Apply latest IE patch update [Applying first is optional but
    recommended] and all other patch updates one at a time and surpress/delay the
    reboot.
    Step-3. Restart/ Reboot the system.

    Quick chaining is built into all windows patches(post SP3 on Win2K, post
    SP1/SP2 on XP)with the exception of Internet Explorer so for all patches the
    reboot can be delayed.

    Are there any patches that cannot be quick chaining other than IE?

    Are there any patches that would break the above patch install sequence?

    Any response is appreciated.
