Symptoms

When you install multiple hotfixes without restarting your computer between each install (chaining), the correct binary may not be installed on your computer. This problem may occur with hotfixes for Windows XP or Windows 2000 that were created before December, 2002 (even if you use the QChain.exe file or the QChain functionality included in Windows XP and Windows 2000 hotfixes released since May 18, 2001) or hotfixes for Windows NT 4.0 (regardless of when they were created). Note To determine when a hotfix was created, view the Modified date on the hotfix installation package. Get the update here: Q815062_W2K_spl_X86_EN.exe
