Re: Final Update

If you have, or can get hold of, a copy of the Security Update CD released
in February 2004, that contains the majority of updates that you *need* in
an easy-to-install form. - the rest I'd download from the Windows Update
Catalog, and burn to CD.
AFAIK, there are no plans to produce an updated version of the disk
