Patch Tuesday – the second Tuesday of the month, is when Microsoft releases its patches. As usual, I checked the Windows Update site at around noon to update all my PCs (I have my PCs set to download, but not install automatically and frequently logging into the Update site beats the auto download, at least in my experience).

I had trouble with a couple of Office 2003 patches and couldn’t figure out why. The security patch downloaded OK, but the Office patches would not. It wasn’t until I expanded the views on them that I saw why.

Zero-byte patches. Can’t be any smaller than that.
