Has M$ stopped providing critical updates as individual .EXE files?

[dbMark]

Has anyone noticed that the November 2003 Internet Explorer Critical updates are not available as a separate download? October, yes. November, no.

I used to go to

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/

to get the cumulative patches since I have a number of computers blocked from internet access that I keep updated.

I get the strong impression that Microsoft wants everyone to go to WindowsUpdate. But what if the computers are not given access? They still need updating! (This also makes it harder to make a slipstream install CD.)

Is there an administrator or corporate page where M$ makes the individual exe's available? I already checked the download site and did not find them.

Go to the update site.
Select "Personalize Windows Update."
Check the box in front of "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also"
Now, under "See Also," click Windows Update Catalog. From here, work your way to your updates. You can download the patches/updates here to rip to disk for distribution.
