I finally got round to installing IE6 SP1 so that I could install some of the recent Critical patches affecting IE and Win 98. Naturally, since I got IE6 from a year old magazine cover disk, I went to Updates to get the latest Critical Update for it.
To my surprise, the Update site insists that I also need the 7th March 2002 Security Update for Win 98 (q313829 - MS02-014 bulletin). I have not been offered this old patch on previous visits so it would appear that the IE6 installation has triggered this requirement in some way.
Whatever the reason, I thought I was up to date with all my 98 updates but perhaps not. The History on the Update site doesn't go back far enough and this particular patch doesn't show up in my AIDA32 updates list nor in the Qfecheck.exe list in Windows itself. This is 'only' a Moderate risk problem and I don't want to get into any difficulties by installing the patch twice if I don't need to.
Is there another way to check which patches are installed or might have been superceded by later ones?
