SUMMARY
Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. This article contains a list of the issues that are fixed by the update. Additionally, this article contains information about how to obtain the update and about how to determine whether the update is installed.



INTRODUCTION
Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Application Error Reporting. This update fixes an issue with Microsoft Application Error Reporting that may cause some information about application errors to be sent to Microsoft without notifying you.



Issue that the update fixes
This update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 fixes the following issue that was not previously documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Application errors may be sent to Microsoft without notice
Some 2007 Microsoft Office program files that are opened or saved on a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Web site use Microsoft Application Error Reporting (DW 2.0) to report problems to Microsoft. If an unsafe COM control is detected, these programs may unintentionally send problem reports to Microsoft without first verifying that you have granted permission for this reporting operation. The problem reports that may be sent do not contain personal information.

This update makes a change to Microsoft Application Error Reporting (DW 2.0). This change helps make sure that DW 2.0 problem reports are sent only after you grant permission.

Microsoft is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. For more information about the privacy policy in application error reporting, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

How to obtain and to install the update
Update 932091 is located at the Microsoft Download Center. To obtain this update and to obtain installation instructions and deployment strategies, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A49472F9-93EF-4423-BD0B-06B1B331C7AC

After you run the installation process for the update, you are prompted to run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard to complete the installation of the update.

Important Because of a problem with the update installation, you may experience a long delay for this update to be installed. Additionally, after the update is installed, you may receive error messages when you access Central Administration and browsing sites.

This problem is commonly seen with stand-alone installations that use Windows Internal Database Engine. The problem occurs because the site is being used during the update process. This condition causes the upgrade to fail.

To avoid this problem, stop the W3SVC service before you install the update. If you experience the problem after you install the update, follow these steps:  Open a command prompt, and then stop the W3SVC service by running the following command:

Net Stop W3SVC

 Open a command prompt, and then change directory to the following directory:

 :\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

 Run the following command:

psconfig –cmd upgrade –inplace b2b –wait

 After the upgrade process is completed, restart the W3SVC service by running the following command:

Net Start W3SVC



How to determine whether the update is installed
Update 932091 contains files that have the versions that are listed in the following tables.

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 64-bit version
You do not have to install this update if you have a later version of the files that are listed in the tables.
