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,
