No, it's not a mistake. This is pretty confusing, but it's not the same file - the first one = 784 kB, the second one = 761 kB.

Found a new link for the Roots Update today that works on 2000/XP/2003/Vista. The link is here.

a few notes on whats happening with the latest stuff

ie6 modules will not be removed from the eng xp/2k3 releases this month, they will instead be removed in the march releases when we move to ap5.6, and i will create add on packs.

the new wmp11 installer (25MB) and windows live messenger v8.1 (16MB) will not be included this month, i'll add them next month (your all going to have to download full/lite releases next month because of the big changes in ap5.6, and theres no point downloading these two files twice wasting bandwidth!

wmp11 updates (KB928788 & KB929399) will not be included this month, i'm waiting til ap5.6 which will have wmp detection and therefore wont interfere with systems still on wmp10 and older

the cache cleanup utility for IE seems to be only for xp sp1 so that wont be included (that is unless ms made a typo and it is actually for xp sp2

i'll leave the .net3 lang pack til next month

i'm not going to include the Application Compatibility Toolkit because it's only useful to application developers

the windows installer clean up utility doesnt sound useful to most people and could actually be dangerous, i'm not going to include it

KB885626 i dont know whether this can be installed on systems with xp sp2 already installed, i'm waiting for confirmation from the_guy

for some reason i have KB929969 and KB873374 in my todo list so someone must have reported them sometime in the last month, no idea who it was, can't bebothered to search and find out, but KB929969 was included last month and KB873374 isnt needed, the necessary KB873374 (GDI+) related updates i remember were included at the time they were released, however the detection tool was never included because its just not necessary for most people.

the_guy, that's a miracle. at this time, ms remember of pt-br. it's there :D

so, now they just need remember of this ones:

KB927544 - just work in english or, at least, not in pt-br

KB928089

KB928939 (until now, i don't know why windows update show it also needed for Brazil... someone must think Australia is near from here)

eu font update (someone told some time ago that this one is international. maybe, but installer it's only in english)

but the most interesting thing is that wga is in english and reports in pt-br too...

PsiMoon314, you can expect that in each update from now. appears that vista didn't sell also expected and they are blaming piracy (nothing to do with system requeriments... everybody have already a vista capable machine, with drivers, etc). because of that, they will ask for wga everytime...

by the way: how did you find wga packed to download? i've just can found it already unpacked, at C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

thanks in advance

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
