In theory, if you try to install a MS update, and your system either A) already has the update, or B) doesn't or can't use the update, the update will not go through and you would get a message stating so. That's the way it SUPPOSED to work. In reality, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I know in the past everytime I try to manually add an official MS patch, if it was included in the SP1 update, which I have, it would cancel the install and tell me that the patch is not needed for SP1. So, it works properly for that instance. ..::[ Sir Troth ]::.. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ICQ: 1717439 AIM: SirTrothX MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx YAHOO: SirTroth :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ----- Original Message ----- From: Lionel To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 2:12 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Fw: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-037: Flaw in Visual B...
