KB955428 update

Is there any plan to evolve this update to one that actaully works? Pretty
clear there are lots of problems here.

Why do you ask and why do you ask here?

You're right about the update, sorry PA Bear. I also had the update problem
but finally fixed it by putting my Works 8.5 CD in the optical drive. After
a reboot I went to Win Updates again, it thought about it, it read my CD
drive, and the update succeeded. There's a problem for sure, but it can be
worked out with the Works CD (at least it did for me).

And if the machine is not running an English-US version of Windows?

I agree. This update keeps wanting the Works CD to be inserted. That is NOT
how is it supposed to work. Yes - inserting the CD may work - but why does
no other update require us to insert the CD? I think the update is flawed.

That package will still request the Works CD. Go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Just click the Change Language drop down window and set it to the
language that is sought.
When the download completes close all open browsers and programs.
Right click the downloaded .cab file and choose Extract All
Now run the extracted file.

The problem is many manufactures don't supply the cd's with a new puter
anymore. So like myself many people don't have the cd on pre installed
programs.

While what you say is true, it is also true that you *can* request CD/DVDs
from whatever company you are thinking of buying from (sometimes LONG after
purchasing - even after the warranty expires)... If you are just thinking
about purchasing and they cannot or will not give you installation media
CD/DVDs (not restoration CD/DVDs) - then you should refuse to purchase and
choose elsewhere.

Didn't know that before? You should now and you should pass it on to anyone
you know thinking about purchasing a new computer and/or who have this
issue.
