Re: Trying Again :-) How are you handling Microsoft Updatesvia CD's ? -- PCTECH

I see what you mean now I tired it. I was not the one who gave you the link before. When I downloaded them I did them one at a time (from the security bulletins) and it allowed me to put them anyplace I wanted. I am not sure why it does it the way it does. Were I work now they have a subscription (it cost) to MicroSoft's TechNet (never heard of it before) here is a link to its patch management page http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/topics/patch/default.mspx

For instance for W2K Pro SP2 I ended up with a TON of stuff as follows:

Yes I have burned CD's for windows updates. I downloaded the updates

from microsoft.com. Are you trying to do it from the updates from IE

update or from the PC's update?

Look at http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp
