Thanks for that, but is there the solution for this kind of problem in general?

I don't want to keep bugging everyone each time I can't find what fix replaced the other. I tried Google,
but with little success. Is there a list maintained somewhere that might contain this useful information?

Thanks

Edit:

Other ones I'm having trouble finding:
- KB2502285 replaced by ????????
- KB2484033 replaced by ????????
- KB2485376 replaced by KB2507618 (found this one)

 

I just put in a request for both x86 and x64 also...hopefully between us we'll get some!

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service.
 
I will need some additional information in order to create a case and provide you the Hotfix: 

Email address you want the Hotfix sent to: xxxx-xxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx
Telephone: xxx xxx xxxx
Country: Canada
Company Name: Personal Desktop
Operating System, Version and x86 or 64bit: Windows 7 Ultimate x86 SP1
Language Version: English
 
Once I have these details, I will be able to determine the appropriate resources to assist you.

I appreciate your patience and look forward to your reply.

I just got the above 5 minutes ago-that request was for the x86 version, still waiting for a response on the x64-fingures crossed.

 

Same problem for me with the French support. They want I contact hardware supplier for the problem!?

 

I don't want to half do it. I may eventually use the updatepack, but right now I am playing with DXIntegrator and just want to see how WU reacts to what I have integrated. For example, If WU offers KB2509553 and I integrate KB2520155, will that satisfy WU? I don't need the whole updatepack for that. I'm just testing and trying to learn as I go along. I hope you now have a better understanding for these ppl.

Besides, SoLor must have some automated method for determining when a fix is removed/replaced. If he does this manually then my hat is off to him. I would go crazy checking each new patch that comes in against the already 146 fixes in the repository. No one seems willing to reveal how these replacements are determined.

Tell them you don't have a phone.

 

Or better yet, call them up on the number provided and tell them that

 

I am keeping a text files listing all the binary files included in each of the hotfixes this way whenever a new hotfix releases I just extract it and compare file versions of included files with my list. This way I can easily determine if a hotfix is superceded or not. I am attaching my current list here hoping it would be useful.

Very nice list. Thank you for sharing. I'm curious as to how you derived your list. If I unpack say, Windows6.1-KB2425227-x86.msu and the cab files contained within, I do not see the kerberos.dll that you have listed.

Thanks again for sharing.

(amd64-wow64) indicates that there are two versions of the binary file in the hotfix one 64-bit (amd64) and one 32-bit (wow64). I take the description text from the knowledge base article if available.

 

This seems to be a typical MS-reply:
"Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service.With regards to your HotFix request, I would like to inform you that the HotFix described in the article number KB2529073 is currently unavailable."
