Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-024: Vulnerability in Windows Media Player Could Allow Remote Code Execution (917734)
How does the extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition affect the release of security updates for these operating systems?
Microsoft will only release security updates for critical security issues. Updates for non-critical security issues are not offered during this support period. For more information about the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policies for these operating systems, visit the following Web site.
For more information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site.
Critical security updates for this platform are available and are provided as part of this security bulletin and can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site.
So. According to this you have to go to Windows Update.
Now. To get the installers, like I do, in case I want to put the updates in while I'm offline, what I have had to do is go to Windows Update, and when you get the list of available updates, click "Details". I then go to the page where the download is offered, and save it to my hard drive archives that get burnt and saved to DVD-RW, then copy the download to the desktop and run it.
