I haven't begun installing any of them yet. I have had this whole process
happen once before and there were multiple updates that I ended up installing
multiple times. However, windows update still was reminding me that I had
updates to install. In other words, I had installed a handful of these
updates multiple times and windows was still saying that they needed to
install. When I asked questions about this, I was told that certain updates
had to be installed in a certain order. In other words, some updates will
not show as being installed unless they are installed in proper order.
Therefore, before I install ANY of the updates this time, I want to know
which order to install them in. It isn't any particular one as of yet. I am
trying to avoid future problems with this by installing them correctly the
first time
