install specified program updates before itself

gamoto · 30 Aug 2011

if you install for example a security update for internet explorer 8 before having internet explorer 8 installed (lets say i have 7) could it cause problems?
(and after installing the security update of ie8 install ie8)

You won't be able to install the update if you haven't installed the program.

^ +1 To what he said. The update won't install it the application it applies to isn't already installed on your system.

Those updates won't be available in Windows Update unless the product is installed that the updates are for.
