About Outlook Express, I don't know. I'll remove the 887797 as that didn't show up for me at all under a fresh install. 823353 does, so i'll leave that in.

1 thing, I don't know if HFSLIP integrates that. Personally, I would just integrate 832353 instead as it has newer binaries.

There is also an update to replace 885492. It is 892313. I don't know if HFSLIP does that 1 either.

Just so you know, my objective is to come up with the "right" list and procedure for clean installs of Win2K, without using HFSLIP.

For Outlook Express, with Windows Update, if you install 823353, then run Windows Update again, it will then tell you you need 897715, and it will also offer 887797 as a recommended but not critical update.

823353 is Security Bulletin 04-018. It replaces the previous OE cumulative security update described in 04-013. It fixes a Malformed E-mail Header vulnerability, rolls up the previous cumulative security updates, and undoes a change that was made in 03-014 that annoyingly creates a copy of your Address Book under the filename of ~ in the root directory.

897715 is Security Bulletin 05-030. It fixes a Newsreader vulnerability. It also claims to roll up all previous security updates *except* for the undoing of the tilde file change. So that's why I thought it would be OK just to use 897715 for a clean install.

As far as binaries go, 897715 has newer versions of msoe.dll and inetcomm.dll than 823353 does. I don't know why you say 823353 has newer binaries.

I guess if you were being completely kosher you should FIRST install 823353, THEN 897715, to get a completely updated OE6SP1.




?what? I can't find that anywhere. Are you sure "892313" is the right number?

support.microsoft.com/?id=892313 works for me.

I will remove the MS04-018 update. If anyone wants these updates left on, please post and i'll put them back asap.

Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB912919)

Thank you x-pert. Will put into the post right away. Never thought this would happen early.

Maybe a day late or a dollar short, but I believe the scripten.exe hotfix is needed only if you slipstream ie6. It's not needed when doing fdv's fileset. Can someone verify?

TommyP, the way I have my HFSLIP folder setup, I have HF with just Hotfixes (no IE specific stuff).

Then I copy hotfixes from IE5Hotfix folder if I'm doing a FDV HFSLIP, or I copy stuff from IE6Hotfix and IE6Cabs folder if doing an IE6 HFSLIP.

scripten.exe is in my IE6Hotfix folder so back when I was looking at this real carefully, my conclusion was that scripten.exe is only needed if doing an IE6 HFSLIP.

Post updated with new updates. The new IE update is NOT required for IE6. The new WMP update supersedes 885492 (911565). 911564 does not supersedew any updates. There is also an update for WMP 7.1 available in the article for 911565.

Is it possible to create a standalone, cumulative/fully patched IE6 SP1? I’m interested in an up-to-date, slipstreamed IE6 – something like an unofficial SP2.

Tomcat76’s list is:

IE6.0sp1-KB823353-x86-ENU.exe
IE6.0sp1-KB833989-x86-ENU.exe
IE6.0sp1-KB887797-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe
oe6.0sp1-KB897715-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe
IE6.0sp1-KB905495-Windows2000-x86-ENU.exe
IE6.0sp1-KB905915-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe (replaces KB896688)

KBs 823353 and 887797 are Outlook Express updates. If it’s possible to create a standalone updated IE6, I’m assuming the Outlook files could be slipped in?

If it’s possible, I would try to nLite it. Thanks

Outlook Express 6 is part of the IE6 package...

List updated to include the new hotfixes

have not tried them yet in a virtual pc, and maybe i am wayyy off base here, but i wanted to draw people's attention to this post:
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=72161
perhaps the IE update will cause users some serious problems?

IE Changes on The Way

That ought to pump up FireFox.

Or Linux.

so i hear the 908531 fix messes things up when COM-accessing proggies are run.
i am on a machine setting it up to update automatically (she's challenged) and need a way to prevent this kb from installing, so i wrote an inf to do that. here it is, for what it's worth, until M$ (which knows about it) can issue a fix.

List updated with August patches.

List updated with September Patches.

Hi. Sorry if this info is somewhere else and I missed it...
About IE package update ( IE6.0sp1-KB918899-Windows-2000-XP-v3-x86-ENU.exe ), should we rename it to IE6.0sp1-KB918899-Windows-2000-XP-x86-ENU.exe ( to get rid of "-v3-" ) or is it ok to let the filename have the "-v3-" ?
Thanks
