This is an advance notification of security bulletins that
Microsoft is intending to release on May 10, 2011.

The full version of the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance
Notification for May 2011 can be found at

not distribute security updates via e-mail.

the shdocvw.dll from WindowsXP-KB2510581-x86-XXX.exe fixes Empty dialog when opening “Organize Favorites” from Windows Explorer 8

As an alternative you can extract the shdocvw.dll from WindowsXP-KB2510581-x86-XXX.exe (SP3GDR), compress it with makecab.exe to shdocvw.dl_ and place it to REPLACE\I386.

Optional, if you do not use favorites or add to favorites, is not necessary in windows internet explorer 8. If you surf the internet with any other browser, is not needed.

the optional KB973686 replaces the high-priority KB973687

The file checker is looking for WindowsXP-KB2497640-x86-XXX.exe, while its original name is IE8-WindowsXP-KB2497640-x86-XXX.exe.

Did you set in the filechecker-ini OPTIONAL=1? Then it's correct.

See here: table 4 (optional updates for IE) and here: KB972582 amd here: MSFN (HFSLIP) and here: MSFN (FC)

Or 4 postings above this posting (from maxfutur)



In case that this really is a bug I need more infos, e.g. your ini.
