That was the kind of instant IT gratification that one seldom comes by!

Nice photos too, by the way!

I noticed the change in the event viewer also. M$ rarely gives those nice messages to us IT Pros.

Thanks for the compliment on the photos. Now she is moving too fast to get nice photos.

Then I was happy to see that in the event viewer the logged events had changed from
1) ‘Self-update is not working’, to
2) ‘Self-update is working !

That was the kind of instant IT gratification that one seldom comes by!

Nice photos too, by the way!

Thanks for the info.

I had (almost) the same problem –

1) no Selfupdate.msi file
2) permissions corrupt on the selfupdate VD

I used your instructions to recreate the VD

Thanks again!
