Windows Update found 3 new updates on W2K today (Tue. 8 May):

KB867801

KB931768

KB890830 Malicious software removal tool May 07

IE6.0sp1-KB931768-Windows2000-x86-ENU.exe installed fine. then did a restart as required.

MRT also installed fine.

but on running IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.exe it show message box "This update requires IE 6.0 service pack 1 to be installed" ?? i have IE 6.0 sp1 as my system is fully up to date. has WU given wrong info?...uncompressing IE6.0sp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.exe shows files dated 7 July 2004...an old update?

Two critial updates are released today, WU found 2, but kb867801 didnt work for me..

added: i recently installed Maxthon Standard 1.5.9.80 and had it hang a few times, also IE has done the same since installing Maxthon. just wondering if this may be a reason why kb867801 didnt install..

you are right. there's no mention to KB929969 in there (at least, i didn't found one). but: KB929969 is an security update for IE7 and KB931768 is an cumulative update for IE7. if is cumulative, it should include any previews update for IE7, right?

Along with this Windows Installer fix you'll also need the Windows Update component fix (if people still use Windows/Microsoft Update, a moot point on here, I guess).

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
