Reason for Re-issue: Microsoft updated this bulletin on May 11, 2004
to advise on the availability of a revised version of the security
update for non-English versions of Windows XP (as opposed to Windows
XP Service Pack 1).  The original update does address the
vulnerability in Windows XP for all supported languages; however, the
original update was not fully localized. Specifically, optional Jet
error strings were only being offered in English on Windows XP. This
issue does not affect other operating systems. If you have previously
applied the security update for other operating systems, including
Windows XP Service Pack 1, you need not take any additional action.

If you have previously applied the security update for non-English
versions of Windows XP (as opposed to Windows XP Service Pack 1), you
need not take any additional action as you are already protected from
this vulnerability. However, if you want to have the Jet optional
text error information in the same language as your Windows XP
installation, you will need to remove the original security update
MS04-014 (837001) following the Removal Information procedure located
in this document and install the revised version. Once 837001 is
uninstalled, revisiting Windows Update will result in the revised
MS04-014 security update for Windows XP being re-offered with the
correct, localized, optional text error strings.
