about hotfix 903235 (MS05-037)
I've posted this elsewhere, but thought
maybe not a bad idea to run it past this list for those that don't mind
(thanks). I've seen the following behavior with regard to
this hotfix 903235:
(1) The bulletin MS05-037 states to check here for its
existence (post installation):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{03D9F3F2-B0E3-11D2-B081-006008039BF0}
In the past, the 'norm' for IExpress-type patches has been here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{8ade8c02-8da6-4ec1-a9ee-ec00ff73ce98}
[note: GUID above is specific to this hotfix] Why this change in documentation?
[RTK] Not a change in documentation.
The hotfix sets bits in the running of the actual component, so the compatibility
flags are manipulated, rather than new moving parts. I acknowledge that the
location changes, but this is due to how the hotfix effects the installed component,
JView Profiler.
(2) I find that the SRVINFO tool does NOT identify this hotfix on SP1 (XP) and
SP4 (2000) machines. Was
expecting to see it under the "Internet Explorer 6" subheading of the
SRVINFO output for these O/S.
[RTK] Can’t confirm or deny this one…..
Don’t have SRVINFO currently on anything
(3) I find that MBSA v.2 neither identifies it as installed nor
identifies it as missing on SP1/2 (XP) and SP4 (2000) machines.
Can anyone else corrorborate
these findings? I'm told by our TAM that nobody else has
reported this yet.
[RTK] MBSA on my systems detect that
it is either installed or not
installed.
Thanks!
