Every day my Windows 98 computer tells me I need to download and install the
above patch. However, I've been trying to do this for months and it just
comes back up the next day. My Outlook Express 6 says its the proper version
for this patch, but it still won't actually install. It downloads fine, but
never seems to register that it's been installed.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. I've deleted Outlook
Express 6 entirely and reinstalled it, but to no avail. I've remove
everything related patch I could identify and reinstalled them, but also to
no avail.

Any clue as to what's happening here? Is it just simply not updating some
registry entry somewhere?

Please reply in newsgroup.

Assuming you're referring to KB837009 (your subject was too long and got cut off):

Clear History, delete Cookies and delete Temporary Internet Files (including offline files) via IE: Tools Options General, then...

1. Download the Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009; all OSS) from the following link, saving it to your Desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

[ Optional: 2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. (During the reboot, keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears Choose Safe Mode Enter.) ]

3. Rename the downloaded file to KB837009.EXE and copy it to C:\ (the root directory of drive C; assumes drive C is the boot drive)

4. Start Run (type in) C:\KB837009.EXE /N:V (Note the spaces) press ENTER

5. Close the command window.

6. Reboot [into Windows] and check in at Windows Update to see if the problem persists.
