Secuity Patch MS03-026

[John Ziberna]

How do I check to see if the security patch is already in
my system? I may have downloaded it during one of my
periodic updates?

If it is not, how do I know which to download, XP 32 Bit
or XP 64 Bit? Can someone out there help me? Thanks.....

D/L the 32-bit version. 64-bit computers are so expensive (in the
neighborhood of $15,000) that if you are not sure which you have - then you
have 32-bit.

The history file is called iuhist.xml located in C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\V4.
This is a hidden directory, please change your view

Go to Start
double click Control Panel
double click Add or Remove Programs
look for the program "Windows XP Hotfix KB823980 if it's
listed you have it. If not try re-installing.

Look in the "iuhist.xml" file for:

<title>Security Update for Windows XP (823980)</title>

<installStatus value="COMPLETE"

This would indicate that the

"Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows XP"

was successfully installed.

| Issue for me is how do you know what patch it is in as the
| numbers in the installed patches history are like Qnnnnnn
| where nnnnnn is a number, nothing like MS03-026, i guess
| that would be too easy !
