Update for Outlook Express

I have received the notification at the bottom of my computer screen telling
me that the "Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to install
these updates." I have clicked on the notification several times, and a
screen always shows that these have been downloaded and installed, but in a
couple of minutes the notification is back. It is for "Cumulative Security
Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353)" This has been happening for
several weeks. Today, again, I went to the "Microsoft Update" site, and was
told that this same Security Update was ready to install - I tried again, and
it still shows is needs to be installed, even though I had just received the
notification that it was alread installed.
Help! I'm very frustrated!!

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.

You asked about the versions of the following: msoe.dll - 6.00.2800.1106,
inetcomm.dll - 6.00.2800.1506, wab32.dll - 6.00.2800.1106. It did not even
show the next one - wabimp.dll.
Thanks for your help

I also asked for your Windows version. Assuming it's Win2K SP4:

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)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=555398

Also see this post of mine in a recent newsgroup discussion:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7f3b0ed2?hl=en

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. If it's not found in Add/Remove Programs, DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER.

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.
