As we all know, MS pulled KB2982791 along with some other updates recently, because it caused blue screens on machines that use a certain class of fonts (and only on 64-bit CPUs, I think?).
Sadly, I must access a customer's Juniper VPN, and the blockheads who admin the VPN still insist that my computer have this update - even though MS itself is no longer offering it, and is asking that it be uninstalled.
And unfortunately, I didn't download it on Black Tuesday. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can't get to the customer's site until MS re-releases it.
I asked on another forum, and someone thought they were doing me a huge favor by NOT giving me the install file. Efforts on my part to explain that I have both Ghost15 and Acronis backups (not to mention the fact that it won't affect my computer), fell on deaf ears. He just had to protect me from myself (just as the Juniper VPN admins feel that they have to protect me).
I believe there is also a way to trick W7 into thinking that an update has been installed, but efforts on my part in this respect have failed. I would be more than happy to do this, and then to undo it, when MS releases the correct patch, but I don't know how. And I can't convince the VPN admins to no longer require it. (They won't even talk to me, because I don't have a county machine, I'm just a lowly contractor). Meanwhile, MS refuses to say when it will release the fix, if ever. Although hopefully under the same name.
This is extremely frustrating. Can anyone help? Either the install file for W7 (I have both 32 and 64 systems, although I think the file is the same for both), or any ideas on how to get windows to "think" that KB2982791 has been installed.
TIA!
