| subject: | Re: WinUpdate Balkiness |
From: "Frank Haber" >I guess they updated the patch version on WU and shavlik didn't have the >patch of the minute yet? Can't speak to Shavlik, but 3-5 times over the past year consumer WinUpdate has had silent changes to files, a sort of "forced beta" for those who downloaded in the first couple of hours. Don't know how many had the installer changed, and how many had actual changed DLLs, etc. Can you imagine being the code librarian for WinUpdate? They must burn one out every six months. A whole funny farm is probably full of former librarians, straitjacketed, drooling in the corners, muttering, "Q9113499, exception thrown on Media Center only, only when Office 2002 installed, on Thursdays, in the gibbous moon." --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 106/2000 633/267 |
