But I have also installed this when it came out. Haven't seen any problems so far.

It's different mate

I don't see how it's different other than it was made into an article. It runs the same exact script you get from the Microsoft link, does the same thing. You just need to rename the Microsoft download and remove the ".remove" from the file name and save, which turns it into the script, which Tom's hardware already did there.

Hi Archie,
I couldn't get this(KB971644) installed for some reason, I have managed to download and get the message "operation successfuly completed" but when I check for Updates I couldn't find this update. I have tried Airbot's link as well with no luck.

Hi brummyfan,

You ran the script as adminstrator right? Have you tried rebooting, then check WU?

There's also this from the MS link -

Quote:

You may have Important updates or similar downloads to obtain and install first, before you see the Platform Update for Windows Vista listed.

One of the updates you have listed there that isn't installed yet may be preventing it from coming thru WU for you. Maybe that KB972036 update.
