Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353)

This one just won't go away. It has downloaded and installed itself about 25
times. Is this happening to anyone else?

Windows version? If Win2K, is SP4 and Win2K SP4 Rollup 1 installed?

The same thing has been happening to me for more than 25 times. As soon as
it installs I get another one. The strange thing about this is that it
contains 0 bytes. I've emailed customer support with Microsoft and have not
received an answer.

To "Pa Bear": I'm not for sure if you will receive read this, but I have
Win2K with SP4 but not sure about the Rollup 1. My MOSE.DLL IS
6.00.2800.1506 as is my INETCOMM.DLL. Any Suggestions??

Hi,

If you have the security update KB897715 (MS05-030) installed,
it could be caused by that.

Temporarily uninstall KB897715 (from Add/Remove Programs), and see if
KB823353 (MS04-018) installs successfully. Then install KB897715 again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I did as advised and it seems to have fixed it. I
rebooted and did a manual windows update and there were no updates to install
so hopefully it's sorted.

See Torgeir's replies in this thread.

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 (You may ignore the title)

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

1. Uninstall 'Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB897715' 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.
