I thought that when an installer issue is found with a patch, the convention was to publish a Fixlet with no Action (so we can see whether it’s Relevant, even if BigFix won’t deploy the patch). Will there be a detection-only Fixlet for KB3115450?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for raising the issue. The problem with this patch is that when we try to extract it, it gives an error. We are not able to generate detection logic from it so far. We will update this announcement if the situation has changed.

Thank you!
