Hello,
My OS is Windows 7 64 bits SP1
When i want to upgrade kodi 17 to 17.1, there is a prompt saying that i have to install KB2670838.
I've installed Windows6.1-KB2670838-x64.msu successfully then rebooted my computer
The prompt still appears.
I've tried to install Windows6.1-KB2670838-x86.msu too, but windows says it's not an update for my computer
Windows says that KB2670838 is already installed when i try to reinstall Windows6.1-KB2670838-x64.msu
So i can't upgrade Kodi.
I've read similar windows problems on many forums and the advice is generally to reinstall windows... Damn ! I've no time for that...
How to bypass hotfix check ?
Thanks

Exactly the same here. Kodi installer says I have to install KB2670838. It has been installed for years. If I try to re-install KB2670838, Microsoft installer says it is already installed. Kodi installer just keeps on saying it isn't.

Intel HD Graphics 4000. Driver version 10.18.10.4425, dated 2016-04-04.
Get-HotFix -Id KB2670838 -ea SilentlyContinue produces the following:

IVYBRIDGE Update KB2670838 IvyBridge\Rob-admin 2013-02-28 00:00:00
Thereafter, another attempt to install 17.1 still fails in the same way (as I'd expect).

I've been unsuccessful in installing the patch, interesting is the attempted installation brings up the default browser with the MS patch. Safe mode and nighties was attempted in both patch and installation without success.
