Listed below are the PSE place holder patch #'s for each of the different supported releases. Some PSE's are not yet available (e.g. 8.1.7.0), but when available they will be under the patch #'s listed below. The same patch # is used for all platforms on that release. Version Patch # 8.1.7.1 1859604 8.1.7.0 1859628 8.1.6.3 1859654 8.1.6.2 1859778 8.1.6.1 1859788 8.1.6.0 1859791 8.0.6.3 TBA To access the patches via MetaLink: Patches Click on the flashing red link for new patches Enter one of the above patch #'s If you want to limit your search to a specific platform then select it from the drop down list, otherwise all platforms will be shown Click on submit Scroll down to find the appropriate patch for your OS Due to the nature of Windows NT/Windows 2000, PSE's are not available and require a full 5-digit patchset release.
