QFEs fail to install -- what am I missing?

[Ten]

OK. I'm at wits.

I have installed WXPeSP1.

I went to the web site and downloaded all the QFEs for XPeSP1. None of them
run. Every time I try to run one of the QFEs I get this message:

"QFE Installer Error

A new platform object needs to be installed before this update can be
installed. Please download the latest platform update from
http://www.microsoft.com/enabled and install it before attempting to install
this QFE.

Setup cannot continue."

I have searched high and low on the web site and on the 2 CDs that came with
WXPeSP1. What "platform object" are they talking about? Is this a QFE that
needs to be installed first? Is this some other update for the product?

Thanks,
Nick.

Hi Ten,

You need to install Q811279 from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/xp/downloads/updates/default.asp
BEFORE you will be able to install any others.

Hope this helps,
