Windows patch creates memory read problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi.

 

I download Windows Updates using the following software:

http://www.heise.de/ct/projekte/offlineupdate/

 

The patches (files) look like this:

windowsxp-kb873376-x86-

enu_5c67061f5227844ef8b5f1eec8596bd2520c542d.exe

 

The additional 40 hex code is generated by the automated download

software. When executing a patch, I get the following message:

 

---- cut here ----

The instruction "0x10106018" referenced memory at "0x36643166". The

memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program

---- cut here ----

 

When I delete the 40 character hex code from the filename, the patch

runs fine (in fact, deleting 20 characters is enough)!

 

The system is a WinXP SP2. The FS is NTFS (obvious). I can run the

patches from any path (even C:\), the error always appears. The

computer is a Dell XPS 700 (Core 2 Duo) with 2 GB ram. All harddisks

are RAID1 or RAID5.

 

Does anybody have any clue why this error shows up?

 

Thanks,

Guest Ottmar Freudenberger

Why would you like to install an Update for Windows XP SP1? Your system

is running with SP2 already which is not affected by the hole KB873376

is aimed to close, see Security Bulletin MS04-034.
