ie6 sp1 update fails->"wfp: unrecognized version"
X-NETCOP-DISCLAIMER: ...reposted to the proper news group...
"PA Bear" wrote in message ... From your headers: "Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1409" I posted from a win2k machine that has no problem so you can't go by that. Looking at the winxp "bad" system, 6.00.2800.1123 is from the OE "about" on the computer that has the problem. However, in the same "about" box, there is a pulldown that shows 1409 for the version of inetcomm.dll I also see 1409 for wab32.dll but generally the dll's have scattered version, not all the same, some are smaller than 1123. Would it do any good to delete the history and force XP to download gatesware updates all over again? I have plenty of time and assume gates wont miss any connect time either. Where can I get rid of all the downloads and try again. This problem showed up during that worm that went around two months ago. I got a note from our network manager *NOT* to download some fix from microsoft, but it was too late. I never got the worm but some others did. Back at that update window you mentioned, I looked for 8370009 and it was not listed, nor was it listed in the win2k system I posted from. However, I did see one strange item: csapi3t1.dll was "unknown" for revision# in the XP, and was 1.0.2415 in the win2k system. Also, I once put in the XP cdrom that the popup wanted just to see if loading the original XP would clear things up. I did load something from the CDROM, but upon reboot, it again attempted to download that SP1 and got the same unrecognized file. Maye the original download got corrupted and subsequent downloads dont really bother to download. ie: pick up from where the last one left off which means nothing really gets downloaded. Where can I find that sp to delete it and start a real download again? ...thanks.. Q837009 is already installed, BB. (Look for it listed in IE HelpAboutUpdate versions.)

Now it only pops up if I explicitely run the "windows update" panel. |

ie6 sp1 update fails->"wfp: unrecognized version"
Look in Add/Remove Programs for "Outlook Express Q837009". If found, close
all other running processes (includes anti-virus) and Uninstall it. Then reboot and revisit Windows Update still with all other running processes closed until after the install. If it's not listed, take a look at the Event viewer see if the following KB article applies: You receive event ID 36 and a "Windows File Protection" error message when you install a software update for a second time http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;834503 Event Viewer: Click Start Run Type "eventvwr" (w/o quotes) Press OK Also try running System File Checker: Run the System File Checker (you may be prompted for XP CD) Click START RUN Type "SFC /Scannow" (w/o quotes) Press OK Let XP check for all system files. You may also want to post on Windows XP related newsgroups: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...lp_and_support news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsxp.general or news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....windowsupdate (to which I'm crossposting this reply). -- ~PA Bear Beemer Biker wrote: X-NETCOP-DISCLAIMER: ...reposted to the proper news group...

ie6 sp1 update fails->"wfp: unrecognized version"
My CrystalBall© nagged me to advise you that after running SFC /scannow,
you'll have to return to Windows Update to download/install much more than just Q837009 as most DLLs will revert to the original versions. -- ~PA Bear PA Bear wrote: Look in Add/Remove Programs for "Outlook Express Q837009".
