"Pending" is the old "Partial" view.

I don't think too much. I ran setup.exe 2.708 and setup.exe 2.697. The same pages in each showed the same thing. Although my list of updates was smaller, not all the packages listed had a current field. My list contained new dependencies for the packages being updated. If there really are no packages listed with a "Current" version, I'd say you're experiencing the result of setup.ini being updated with previously missing packages for packages you have already installed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
