This bulletin contains updates for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. The updates for the .NET Framework 1.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 are noteworthy because of a drawback both updates suffer from. Lets say you have an update for the .NET Framework installed and you then install a second update. Later on if you uninstall the second update, you...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2007/07/11/file-rollback-to-last-service-pack-when-uninstalling-a-net-framework-1-0-or-1-1-update.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3823400" width="1" height="1">jamsheddhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/jamshedd.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2007/06/16/registry-key-based-detection-for-net-framework-and-visual-studio-updates.aspx2007-06-16T21:01:00Z2007-06-16T21:01:00ZThere is often a need to have a way to detect whether or not a certain update for the .NET Framework or Visual Studio is installed on a PC. A user might easily go and look this up in ARP (Add-Remove Programs), but if you are an IT administrator for an enterprise you do not want to walk around and look this up one machine at a time for a few hundred or even a few thousand machines. What you need in that case is a scriptable/deployable way of detecting whether the update is question is installed.

This security update is described in security bulletin MS06-056 and in Knowledge Base Article 922770 . A small number of users have reported issues with installing this update. It appears that the issues reported fall into 3 categories: Problem 1 The installation fails because Windows Installer...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/10/13/Oroblems-while-installing-an-update-for-the-.NET-Framework-2-0.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=823314" width="1" height="1">jamsheddhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/jamshedd.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/08/07/691705.aspx2006-08-08T05:00:00Z2006-08-08T05:00:00ZMicrosoft has put up a little teaser site for Zune here , allowing you to signup for notifications/emails as and when more information will be made publicly available. Is it me or is everyone wondering what the new Zune player will look like ? I definitely wonder whether Zune will it have the basic but polished appearance of the competitor's product or will it target a more geeky audience with features and buttons ? What would the storage capacity be like ? What would the screen size and resolution...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/08/07/691705.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=691705" width="1" height="1">jamsheddhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/jamshedd.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/08/05/black-hat-vista.aspx2006-08-05T21:47:00Z2006-08-05T21:47:00ZEarlier this week hackers from around the country met in Vegas at the annual Black Hat event. Vista is the first Microsoft operating system built from the ground up with security in mind i.e. using Microsoft's Secure Development Lifecycle. At Black Hat, Microsoft handed over around 3000 copies of Vista to hackers. This IMHO is fantastic for all concerned. Microsoft will have the best hackers out there poking at Vista trying to find holes in it, while the hackers have an opportunity to flex their...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/08/05/black-hat-vista.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=689812" width="1" height="1">jamsheddhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/jamshedd.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/jamshedd/archive/2006/07/27/680937.aspx2006-07-28T03:14:00Z2006-07-28T03:14:00ZIn my first post whoami I mentioned that that I am a PM on the DDCPX team handling the release and distribution channels. I mentioned that I took up this position to replace another team member who moved to a different team. Well, lightning does strike the same place twice sometimes. Shortly after I took on this role, another team member who was the primary Security PM for the division moved elsewhere, and I was given an opportunity which I just had to grab.
