Patch re-releases

Hi,
Microsoft re-released two patches for servers this month (sep,12)
which require restart. When I tried to install the new patch, it did
not override the previous update. So I decided to uninstall the
previous update. During the uninstalllation it gives a list of updates
which get affected if the uninstallation continues. For example,
Microsoft re-released a Aug 14th patch KB921883 on Sep 12th. When I
uninstalled Aug 14th version of patch it came with this list
{KB917442,KB920214,KB920670 etc.,} saying that those updates may not
work if the uninstall continues. But I ignored it, continued installing
the new version. It seemed to work fine.

My question is, Do I need to uninstall the patches affected by the
older version of patch? If I don't will there be any side effects?
Since I'm new to Patch management, I'm not sure whether I'm doing it
right. Since I'm deploying the patches in the test environment, I need
to make sure that the system will be stable, in the production
environment.

Thanks.

We can't suggest anything until you state your Windows version.

The 2 patches you reference we /not/ re-released for every Windows version.
If Windows or Automatic Update did not offer you either of these patches
again, the patch was not re-released for your Windows version.

Both MS06-040/921883 and MS06-042/918899 were re-released for Win2K03 (SP1).

You don't need to uninstall anything to be able to install either of the
re-released patches.

If one of the patches was re-released for Win2K03 SP1 and neither Windows
Update, Microsoft Update nor Automatic Updates offered it to you, the
re-released patch is already installed.
