Just started attempting to use VS2003 Enterprise. When I try to check for
updates I get the error covered in KB836454. When I try to convert a VB6
project to VB.NET I get an error similar to KB884878 (except with
CommonDialog control). Both of these KB's reference hotfixes for these
problems but no real way to get them. How do I get these fixes? -- Thanks.
 
They both explicitly explains how to obtain the hotfixes:

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support
Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product
Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit
the following Microsoft Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[LN];CNTACTMS
Note In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support
calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a
specific update will resolve your problem. The usual support costs will
apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the
specific update in question.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for the reply - You are absolutely correct. I guess I was expecting a
method to download the fixes. With terabytes of downloadable material it
seems like a huge waste or resources to have to make a phone call to get a
registry file and a single dll.

Thanks for your help.
