Don't step on cracks in the sidewalk. Throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Uninstall the temporary patch first.
Just in case. All of the above recommendations have the same amount of basis in fact. NONE. To "get it" you have to understand the way each of the two patches function. There is no chance for confusion between the patches because of the different approach each takes to avoiding the problem. Meanwhile, I would advise anyone avoid leaving a window, however small, during which a system is unprotected. Just in case the person who's applying the new patch gets distracted after uninstalling the interrim patch. If you're sure there's no chance of distraction, then do it however you want, and be comfortable in your superstitions.

Although the direction about uninstalling, before/after, comes from the trusted source who provided the initial patch, perhaps it is worthwhile installing a new patch to an unpatched system just in case there is some confusion caused by/to the patches. If an uninstall before the new patch doesn't cause a problem, then why not then versus an uninstall after the new patch. FWIW, I uninstalled the first patch and then installed the MS patch... so far, so good. :-) -- cheers, Stephen -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
