Re: security update repeats "indefinitely"



If you go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/mdac/downloads/
and get the MDAC version checker, what is it seeing ??
The update you are dealing with is very old (approx Jan 04)
Also, the history of your machine stretches back to the pre-MDAC
times when ODBC support was all too often getting cross-versioned.

On the page (above link) you will see a direct link to your problem
child patch, but also notice the link to MDAC 2.8 SP1 which does
supercede your patch (which applied to 2.8 gold).
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=78cac895-efc2-4f8e-a9e0-3a1afbd5922e&displaylang=en

I would grab 2.8 SP 1 (which does install for W2k and Win98) and
also get the version checker. After installing 2.8 Sp1 then I would
rerun the version checker to make sure it is seeing only 2.8 SP 1

If after that autoupdate is still saying as it does now, then there is
likely a corruption in your wuau catalog. For that you should post
into the update newsgroup.
see

or go to microsoft.public.windowsupdate newsgroup

I recently upgraded my computer from Win98 to Win2K. Afterwards, Win2K and
Win98 were on the same partition. I installed Service Pack 4, then all
other security updates, then IE 6 SP1.
Now I have this problem: Windows keeps telling me that there is one
security update ready to install:
"Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (KB832483)"
When I click on the update icon in the task bar and click to install it, I
get the message that the update was installed successfully. However, a
couple of minutes later, the same update message pops up again in the task
bar. Repeating the installation doesn't help - it always keeps popping up.
Any idea what causes this and how I can get rid of the problem? How do I
know if the update is installed or not?

Thanks,
Martin
