When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

Windows Installer 3 Update

Windows Installer 3 Update 09/09/2004 10:58 AM
Microsoft have released info on the progress of their next generation installer sofware, version 3.

"Since the general availability of Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Installer team has received numerous inquiries about the status of the Windows Installer 3.0. We wanted to give everyone an update and pointers to where you can find the information you need. The Windows Installer 3.0 is released in three pieces:

The first piece is the actual bits that shipped as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Service Pack 2 is widely available through Windows Update as well as from here.

The second piece is the SDK documentation and tools that are available of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 SDK that is now available from here.

The final piece is the down level redistributable for Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and 4, Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, we have experienced a delay in making this redistributable available. We expect to make the redistributable available in September, but we do not yet have a firm date."

Sadly, it seems, as long as we have Windows servers and desktops there'll be a need for patch management services for these operating systems. It's not that there are other operating systems that never need patching (there aren't), but that the sheer quantity of Windows patches makes even a little bit of automation a welcome relief.

After applying the Update for Windows Media Player Script Commands (KB828026), some URL script commands do not fire even though they would be expected to do so. In addition to the URL script command issues, this package addresses an issue with the installer that would cause 100% CPU utilization in certain scenarios.

Windows XP SP2 Express Installer

Windows XP SP2 Express Installer 08/14/2004 04:42 AM
For those of you how have been waiting for Microsoft to release the express installer for Service Pack 2 because 272MB is too much for you, the wait is now over.

Typical users of the express installer should expect a 80-90MB download, since the express installer only downloads updates for components that your computer has. This is a more reasonable size for dial-up users, and others who can't spare the bandwidth.

There is no difference in the files that are downloaded between this version and the full network install, except that the network install will contain content that your computer probably will not use. Also, it should be noted that you cannot use the express installer to create slipstream installs.

Download: SP2 Express Installer, English (1.6MB + approx 90MB)
