The Correct File Is Not Installed When You Chain Multiple Hotfixes

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).

This problem occurs when two hotfixes contain different versions of the same binary and QChain.exe file, or when the hotfix installation package for Windows XP or Windows 2000 hotfixes that were created before December, 2002, obtains the file version of the binary based on the file in memory instead of the file on the disk.
