Hi,
I'm installing IE 8 in my organization and ran into problems/questions with
updates. I've been looking for all relevent updates & patches before I
deploy it. On one of the test systems has version 8.0.6001.18702CO. Does
anyone know what the 'CO' stands for? To figure out my question about
updates I thought that I would try to solve it by running Windows Update.
When I ran this I only noticed 1 patch for IE8, it was a cumulative patch for
IE8, KB982381. Since I'm deploying this to a number of machines I thought
I'd download the patch. When I did this I received an error message 'The
version of Internet Explorer you have installed does not match the update
....'. All of the systems in my office are running Windows XP Service Pack 3
x86 platform. The questionable things that I found are that if I go to
Microsoft's Update site, run only this update, and reboot then I find:
- The version number has not changed.
- There is nothing in Add/Remove programs to reference this installation.
- Although there is a new folder in C:\Windows\$h_mig$ called KB982391-IE8
- If I go to Microsoft's update site and check my PC for updates then the
'Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP
(KB982381)' is no longer on the list of updates.
Is there a way to wrap that update into the installation file? And will
that Cumulative update make my IE8 installation current with all patches and
updates for IE8?
Thanks in Advance,
JeffH
