Tony- 

The numbers are in the form: major version.minor version.build
number.sub-build number

This is what the versions are for various versions of XP 

6.00.2600.0000   Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP)
6.00.2800.1106   Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (Windows XP SP1)
6.00.2900.2180   Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP SP2

Your second example matches one of my XP machines that was just upgraded
to SP2 and has had no other IE patches applied (yet)

Subject: [ActiveDir] Different Versions of Internet Explorer

We have a web based application that is behaving slightly different
depending on the users version/patches of Internet Explorer.  I was
wondering if someone would shed some light as to what the numbers mean
under "Version".  I understand it is Version 6.0 but what do the
subsequent numbers mean?  I also understand under Update Version those
are probably patches that have been applied.

For example, Computer One works fine and this is what is listed under
Help - About

Version:  6.0.2800.1106 xpsp2.503001-1526
Cipher Strength:  128 bit
Update Version:  SP1; Q818529; Q330994; Q828750; Q832894; Q837009;
Q823353; Q867801; Q903235


Computer Two is having the issue and this is what is listed under Help -
About

Version:  6.0.2900.2180 xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Cipher Strength:  128-bit
Update Version: SP2

The main difference between the two is Computer One has been on the
network for some time and thus has quite a few security patches whereas
Computer Two is new and only needed a few patches.  The problem seems to
be on the new workstations.  

Thanks.

Tony
