• Now we know why this month’s Win7 Monthly Rollup, KB 4093118, installs itself over and over

    Our own abbodi86 traced down the problem.

    You gotta wonder who’s putting together these kludges for Microsoft’s second-most-popular version of Windows. Half a billion users. Billions and billions of bucks. And a dumb mistake that has some Win7 users pulling their hair out.

    Computerworld Woody on Windows.

    UPDATE: Abbodi86 has a more detailed analysis — and a fascinating discussion of the different levels of metadata — here. He also has a suggested fix for Microsoft, if they’re listening.

    It looks like Microsoft needs to fix things before the May Monthly Rollup, to avoid the same endless re-installation problems.
