Dear all,

I read and tried all what has been said about this issue, I still have
essential update kb837009 been offered.
I reinstalled ME and other (essential) updates; kb837009 is boring me.
I have run kb837009.exe /n:v in safe mode and in normal mode.
I removed KB837009 and did it again.
MSOE.DDL and INECOMM.DLL are both 6.00.2800.1478.
WU still asks for essential update 837009.
Who can help, what else can I do?
Regards,

Coen
