We have talked with IT Security and have checked with Microsoft. Security had denied the removal of this KB nor those Microsoft suggest it. According to some forum seen, Microsoft is aware of the issue and is working to get a fix in the next month. Presently no incidents have been reported regarding the above KB and Windows Installer here at Statcan. Therefore since we cannot reproduce this problem we will close our assignment but we will continue to monitor the issue. _____________________________________________ From: Douglas, Keith - CoSD/DSCo Sent: September-22-14 2:25 PM To: Cousineau, Natacha - ITOD/DOTI Subject: RE: Service Request # 01298424 - KB2918614 I fear you've misunderstood; we've been chasing down a problem reported which was sufficiently alarming that we wanted to investigate it before it affected CAPI ... it has not been noticed anywhere here as yet. But since the problem breaks Windows Installer (in one way or other) we figured we'd need help to work on it, tell others that they might be affected, etc. Keith Douglas Statistics Canada | 170 Tunney's Pasture Driveway, Ottawa ON K1A 0T6 Statistique Canada | 170, promenade Tunney's Pasture, Ottawa ON K1A 0T6 keith.doug...@statcan.gc.ca<mailto:keith.doug...@statcan.gc.ca> Telephone | Téléphone 613-854-5589 Facsimile | Télécopieur 613-951-4674 Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada _____________________________________________ From: Cousineau, Natacha - ITOD/DOTI Sent: September-22-14 1:42 PM To: Douglas, Keith - CoSD/DSCo Subject: RE: Service Request # 01298424 - KB2918614 So everything is working fine at your end now? _____________________________________________ From: Douglas, Keith - CoSD/DSCo Sent: September-22-14 9:10 AM To: Cousineau, Natacha - ITOD/DOTI Subject: RE: Service Request # 01298424 - KB2918614 I haven't been able to reproduce the problems or learn more, though the below is interesting. I am getting the impression we're partially safe because of the fact we don't normally do so-called "small updates", but it can't be just that.

I've asked IT security to remove this for you but we are not allowed since this is a security update from Microsoft rated important. He did find a few things to maybe fix this problem for you: I've seen some workaround on the net, I don't know in Keith's case, if they could be easily applied or not... Workaround if you have problems with repairing application: Uninstall the application and reinstall it with the security update installed. (sourcehash file generated with security update) Manually copy the sourcehash file to c:\windows\installer folder. As the sourcehash file is generated based on the application files, the sourcehash file generated on computer A can be used on computer B. I've also read in a few different blog, from people contacting Microsoft about this issue and the answer they got form Microsoft is that they are hoping to have an additional patch that fixes this somewhere in the time range of mid October to beginning of November. Now, I haven't seen anything official about this yet, but it would make sense. Let me know if this helps...
