Auto update attempts to install Cumulative security update
for I.E.6 (KB867801). During attempted restart and set-
up, I get message on Black screen, "Windows could not
upgrade the file %1 from %2." Then below that on same
screen it says, "Windows could not upgrade 1 or more syst.
files b4 starting- windows may not start or run properly.
If windows fails to start, run set-up again". I'm
running Windows ME. And this auto update keeps trying to
d/l and install but never seems to complete the job. Just
same message time after time....... If this is a critical
update, can somebody please advise me on this?? I've
tried it at least 10 times with same result.

Are you installing via Windows Update?...

<quote>
How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and
Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for these
operating systems?

Microsoft will only release security updates for critical security issues.
Non-critical security issues are not offered during this support period....

Note: Critical security updates for these platforms may not be available
concurrently with the other security updates provided as part of this
security bulletin. They will be made available as soon as possible following
the release. When these security updates are available, you will be able to
download them *only* from the Windows Update Web site.
