SUMMARY: CDE Patch Installation Problem

Problem is fixed....and generally its from not paying
attention way back then. Patch 95.03 was installed
before 95.00!!!!

So i backed out of 95.03, installed as supposed to!!
patchkit #3, then put back 95.03.

dupatch is happy.

Thanks to Yaacov Fenster, Rye Don L , and David Ross
for their ideas.

The issue here is that you have installed 95.03 (from
CSP kit #12856).
It is of a higher rev than 95.00 from the aggregate
patch kit.
Therefore, it probably will not even be considered for
installation. As
you proposed, back out patch C95.03 (and anything that
depends on it),
then install patch kit #3, and then re-apply the CSP.
