MEB

Got it, thanks. Sent you an old one.

Now all we have to do is compare... as if that was all that needed done...
but anyway, now I have one comparison basis from a different system..

Very good. I had a hard drive crash in '01 & had to get all those again,
if they weren't already on Compaq's QuickRestore CDs. But that's still
earlier than your doings.

You've got me interested in looking mine over carefully. I haven't
received yours probably because I have a message rule that won't accept
anything larger than 100 KB. You must zip it to get through-- but I
doubt I'll ever look at it.

Re-did mine and yours, re-sent as text, forgot you were using your browser
to look at them. Should look similar to what you generally see.
So best get these text versions at least, 18k as zipped.

I still got nothing. Oops! My other message rule disallows posts with

still don't want it!

Yes, I use IE to look at mine. And I was right the first time-- it won't
work without NET access, (if it also isn't in TIFs)...!...

The reason is the style sheet isn't provided, hence there is no way for IE
to determine the proper presentation.

Ah, I already have a local copy of the schema, so IF I wanted to use the
browser, a change to the location to local file and it would display in the
fashion dictated. Suppose I should try that sometime...

Anyway, I'll re-send the text files... at least you can look at it anytime
you want WITHOUT web access or changing the original iuhist...

| || || || | RDF, site XML [like for Google], or any other style of XML
| || || || | editing? Its a pretty common format now, used to store data,

| || || || | Look at something you already have like AVAST's... I just

Alright. Thanks. Don't know when, but I intend to get to it. It's just
the thing is so big & sloppy-- so tough to look at!

Yours seems to have its timestamps in order, where mine are mixed. But
you've got 18 of KB837009, where I've got only 2. I still can't figure
why I've got so many duplicates, but I guess your 18 KB837009 is
explainable-- lots went through that!

It could be my duplicates resulted from taking most from the Catalog for
storage, after taking them from the site for install. But more study is
necessary. I've got at least one that is in my WU (where I stored the
downloads from the Catalog) but only in IUHist only once. I don't know
when I can get to this.

OK. Maybe I'll look for something that reads IUHist,xml & does the
analysis. I'll plod through mine (& maybe yours) by hand otherwise &
post the analysis to a new thread. Every time I open mine-- it looks
like half-a-million criticals are in there! The .xml version scares me
because of the online involvement, but it has working +/- signs making
it a tad easier to know where one update ends & another begins. But I'm
afraid to do any deletes in it!

|| || || || || || || ||
|| || || || || || || || It is not at the Catalog for Win98 in any of the

|| || || || || || || || Thanks to you & Terhune (especially for testing
|| || || || || || || || it)-- I took it in, just in case I ever need to
|| || || || || || || || reinstall it. I took in...

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,

| || || || || || | any other style of XML editing? Its a pretty common

| || || || || || || ||

| || || || || || || ||
| || || || || || || || | BTW if you could send me your old iuhist for
| || || || || || || || | comparison, it would be appreciated.
| || || || || || || ||
| || || || || || || || I have only one IUHist.xml. It requires an internet

| || || || || || || || Is it safe to have someone else look inside mine?
| || || || || || || || It's a big mess, anyhow!
| || || || || || || ||
| || || || || || || || | I started new testing phases after the December
| || || || || || || || | 2005 issues., so all iuhist [that I remembered to
| || || || || || || || | save] after, have not got that in it. I'd like to
| || || || || || || || | compare my old ones with yours to see what else
| || || || || || || || | was removed. Perhaps you may have some other
| || || || || || || || | things missing which I may not have [due to
| || || || || || || || | several re-installations during the final
| || || || || || || || | support days or before] or overlooked..

It was a hint this time, but I ask directly for it a few posts ago. I
looked & couldn't easily find an analyzer. OK, I'll be waiting for it,
no hurry-- it's going to take six years anyhow to analyze the thing!

|| || || || || || || || || It is not at the Catalog for Win98 in any of
|| || || || || || || || || the categories (looking for 823353 or
|| || || || || || || || || MS04-018), which finally has begun to work
|| || || || || || || || || again after 3 days...
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| || || || http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| || || || || || || || || And it wasn't among my downloads from the
|| || || || || || || || || Catalog. So, either I didn't look quick
|| || || || || || || || || enough for it or it never was there.
|| || || || || || || || || HOWEVER...
|| || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-018
|| || || || || || || || || Cumulative Security Update for Outlook
|| || || || || || || || || Express (823353)
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| || || || || || || || || ...from our IUHist.xml DOES serve to get to
|| || || || || || || || || it. Thanks to you & Terhune (especially for
|| || || || || || || || || testing it)-- I took it in, just in case I
|| || || || || || || || || ever need to reinstall it. I took in...
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| || || || || || || || || . Microsoft Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1
|| || || || || || || || || IE6.0sp1-KB823353-x86-ENU.exe
|| || || || || || || || || Desc: Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor
|| || || || || || || || || Size: 1,996,544 bytes
|| || || || || || || || || Ver: 6.00.2800.1168
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| || || || || || || || || I'm not sure whether the version refers to
|| || || || || || || || || the update or the Extractor. I DO verify
|| || || || || || || || || that the files you mentioned are indeed the
|| || || || || || || || || versions I've got. Thanks again to you &
|| || || || || || || || || Terhune.
