Microsoft VM

My system has downloaded an automatic update and when it goes to install it,
it gives me a message "This setup will only upgrade over an existing version
of the Microsoft VM."
This does not bother me, but the fact that my system constantly (for the
past 6 weeks) gives me messages to upgrade but is unsuccessful each time is
annoying.

I'm current have the same problem. Is there a solution?

Thanks

Marshall,

Which version of Windows and what Service Pack is installed ?
Was the system upgraded to XP or, to XP SP2 ?

I have WinXP Pro with SP2 installed, and as far as I know that is what was
originally installed.

Marshall,

That's definitely NOT a needed update since the MSJVM is not installed
.... unless an application or program installed some type of MSJVM file.
Can you provide us with the specific KB number of the update ?

Is there any Sun Java package installed ? Look in Add/Remove Programs in
the Control Panel. It (they) will be listed as
J2SE Runtime Environment x.x Update x (the x are for the version and
update to said version numbers)

816093 is the update number.

I have Jave 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03 installed.

You need to hurry on over to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
and install the most recent JRE 5.0 update 9.

The old one you have is a security risk.

What Tom said, Marshall. That version of Sun java is EXTEMELY vulnerable
to what is known as Vundo/Virtumonde.
It's possible that the Sun java cache is populated with infected java
files. Uninstall it ASAP from Add/Remove Programs and then install the
latest version from the link Tom provided.

From the MS KB816093 article -

" • If you are running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000
SP4 without the Microsoft VM installed, you cannot install this update
to the Microsoft VM. If you try to install this update to the Microsoft
VM on a computer that does not already have the Microsoft VM installed
that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 SP4,
you receive the following message:

Microsoft VM
This setup will only upgrade over an existing version of the Microsoft VM.

If you click OK, you receive the following message:

Microsoft VM
The installation is complete.

This message is incorrect. The Microsoft VM is not installed if you do
not already have the Microsoft VM installed. "

Since there is no MS VM installed, the update will always fail.
Get the older, vulnerable uninstalled and install the latest version.
Then we'll see if KB816903 is offered again.
