The only harm in uninstalling first is the window of unprotection. I've found that uninstalling the temp patch causes systems to reboot. Since they need to reboot anyway for the MS patch, my routine has been:
1. Install MS patch, decline reboot. 2. Uninstall temporary patch, causing reboot. Carl p.s. you can script the uninstall (watch for wraps): @echo off if not exist "%programfiles%\windowsmetafilefix\wmfhotfix.cpp" goto end %windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe /s %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll "%programfiles%\WindowsMetafileFix\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES :end -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Bird Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 5:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: WMF security patch released On Thu, 5 Jan 2006 17:08:16 -0500, Carl Houseman wrote: >Brian Livingston was giving general advice, not specific advice when he said >that.
