    KB960477-

    I wonder if WRITE.EXE and WRITE.HLP from WFW3.11 are vulnerable.

    I put them on my system (in C:\WINDOWS) and pointed *.WRI files to open using Write. It seems to work fine on XP Pro.

    If the text converters are the problem I'd think WFW 311 WRITE.EXE will be OK.(Win9x Write uses the converters)

    MSO Word 2007 gives a nice scary warning now when opening *.WRI files and I don't want to install Word Viewer on top of a full MSO installation.

    Are you doing this on an XP Embedded or Windows Embedded Standard 2009 system? Office products like Word are not licensed for use on Embedded.

    I apologize.

    I posted here in the wrong place. I am not dealing with an embedded system, just a normal XP Pro install.

    I did a custom (re)install. As a courtesy I usually look at older programs (espesially 16 bit) if I have time after a service pack release before releasing a computer I install. I noticed the "read me" file did not work for one of these program, then fished around and found it was due to the cumulative security update.

    I put the WFW 3.1 Write on the system, and searched MSDN blogs for KB960477. This KB didn't get a lot of notice, I think 3 hits total. I was intending to fish and see if I defeated the purpose of the update, or if I'm OK here.
