Guest Grant Lui Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, I have a W2K server with auto update setup. The thing is that, few days ago it downloaded a bunch of updates, including KB977816 and installed all of them. It is however, according to "add/remove programs", the KB977816 has been installed, but auto update keeps notifying that the update is ready to install. When ever I let auto update installs it, it just shows update was successful, no error. But less then a minute later, the auto update notify the KB977816 is ready for install again. Tried restart many times, did not help, tried stopping auto update service and starting it again, did not help.... I know it's already installed, and I just want to get rid of that auto update notification coz it's really annoying.... Any ideas? Quote

Guest Grant Lui Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Hi... I'm running service pack 4, basically all critical updates are up to current, except this KB977816 issue is rather irritating. I also tried to enable install mode by putting the command "change user /install" in the command prompt, didn't help either. Nevertheless, I tried to do it manually by visiting the windows update website, again, it said update successful... no errors had happened.... I even tried to install it manually by downloading the patch from MS and install it with install mode... again... the installer claims that update is successful and that the patch also successfully recorded in the "add/remove programs". I check also the log... also told that the update went successful. Really have no idea what went wrong :( "Ǝøçεl" wrote: > Grant Lui, > > Just out of curiosity, what service pack are you running? > -=- > > > "Grant Lui" wrote: > > > Hi, I have a W2K server with auto update setup. > > > > The thing is that, few days ago it downloaded a bunch of updates, including > > KB977816 and installed all of them.

Guest US Tech 1932 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 If you review the names / dates of the files updated by the patch, most likely you will find that one or both did not get updated properly. From TechNet Article: 'MS10-026: Vulnerability in Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 codec could allow remote code execution' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977816) Windows 2000 file information For all supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Collapse this tableExpand this tableFile name File version File size Date Time Platform L3codecx.ax 1.6.0.51 143,422 21-Jan-2010 19:46 Not Applicable L3codeca.acm 1.9.0.306 307,260 21-Jan-2010 19:48 Not Applicable On the few machines that I was seeing this issue on, L3codeca.acm, in %WINDIR%\System32 was not updated, even though the patch reported as successfully installed. Suggestion would be to manually copy L3codeca.acm from a different machine and replace on the problem machine. This process resolved the issue for me. -- US Tech 1932 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com Quote
Guest MsKatze Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I am having the same problem but I do not have another machine to copy L3codeca.acm. Any other way to fix this?

Guest US Tech 1932 Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Windows Update extracts the files that are part of the patch here: %WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\{long series of numbers and letters}\{Sub Folders} (Don't have exact folder name for this patch) Search for "L3codeca.acm" there. -- US Tech 1932 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com Quote
Guest Seanie Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Install Media Player Nine and its subsequent updates. 977816 will then detect correctly. I bet this issue only is occuring with machines still at media player version 6.4.

Hi, I have checked the two cab files linked with the KB977816 patch and did not found the L3codeca.acm file in them, only .cat, .num files and x86_... files. Can you send it to me ? Thanks in advance :) Francois Quote
