These are critical security fixes, if you aren't going to install one you
may as well not install the others. But ok to address this point, you click
on the single exe patch and it comes up with a window with 6 checkboxes in
it giving you the choice of which of the 6 patches to install.
Hmmm.. I wonder how hard it would be to write a program that could actually
create a rollup of these patches into a single exe file? Would work
something like allowing you to select just the patches you want from a
directory window, then packs them into a single exe with code that executes
each individually when you run it using the silent command line switch?
Sort of like winzip can create a zipped exe with a bunch of files but with
a little extra code to run each of those files instead of unzipping them.
Build your own rollup, include just the patches you want, man that would
make life easy for a lot of folks.
