Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express (823353)

My Windows update on my Windows 2003 OS constantly lists the update stated
above as being needed to be installed, even after repeated installations.
How can I de-list this security update from my windows update?

Hi,

Select "Custom Install", unselect the update in question, and
when later on asked, select to never show the update again.

Same problem in Win2K Pro... It's driving me crazy!

See this KB article:

A dialog box with no text appears if you reply to a news message in Outlook
Express 6 Service Pack 1 (Ignore the title)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=555398

Also see this post of mine in a recent newsgroup discussion:

For a reason yet to be determined, Windows Update was offering OE updates in
the wrong order to Win2k SP4, WinXP SP1 and (now, it seems) Win2k03 users.
They straightened it out c. 14 Aug-05. Here's the fix:

1. Uninstall (KB)897715 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2a. Assuming MSOE.DLL is now v6.00.2800.1409 or earlier (i.e.,
v6.00.2800.1123 or v6.00.2800.1106), install (KB)823353 manually using the
file downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

2b. Optional: Reboot and install KB887797 via
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...6-a1a3da675baf

3. Reboot and (re)install (KB)897715 manually using the file downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...d-28502b3d2518

Alternatively, after #1 above, check in at Windows Update and install
whatever OE Cumulative Update is now offered and reboot. Then return to
Windows Update to see if another one's now offered you.

I have the same problem on Windows ME, but mine applies to KB837009. I note
that this is not just the automiatic update function. Accessing Update from
the Start menu (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp) results
in a prompt to update this same KB daily.

Can Microsoft help with this - I can't follow Togier Bakken (MVP)'s
suggestions as I am not script-savvy.

You receive repeated prompts to install KB837009?

OE Help > About > Files: What versions of MSOE.DLL, INETCOMM.DLL and
WAB32.DLL are displayed here?

After having upgraded to IE6, did you ever reinstall WinME? Did you
uninstall IE6 before doing so?
