windows server 2008 patch.p8s typo

Hello,

I think i've discovered what appears to be a type in the Windows Server 2008 x64 64-bit patch.p8s template file from LiveUpdate!

there is an operator that should be "=~" which is "~=" in the template..

open the template, see line 72;

MS09-061/CVE-2009-0090/CVE-2009-0091/CVE-2009-2497    2009/10/13    .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2    6.0    f-MS09-061:974470        Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime Could Allow Remote Code Execution (974378)    3    Mandatory    5    0    1    0

Edit the Conditions (1) button for this entry and change the sting value in the Name field here to move the tilde "`" to after the equals "=" sign instead of before.

Someone can validate this but i was getting the error before making the change, and now its ok:

Registry value comparison operator is invalid  The comparison operator being used is invalid. Valid operators include: = != < > <= >= =~    Red    None        ~=

Solution.

Hey  Sunny,
Great Catch!!
Thanks for pointing it out. Only the template name you mentioned is incorrect :). The template with error is Patch.ps8 and not Patch.p8s
Changing it to =~ will surely solve it.
