Re: Unable to install Cumulative Security Update for Internet Expl



Back up your Registry before doing so, please.

The fix should only take you 2 minutes, if that.

Copy the 14 lines between the "XXXXXX" below and paste it into a blank
notepad document.
Save the document with a .REG extension  (like Fix.reg).
Double Click the .REG file you created and answer Yes to load. (this loads
it automatically to the registry)

Thats it.

FYI:  That is the fix for the MS05-52 problem.  I was on the phone with
Microsoft for 4 1/2 hours straight last night.  I had the problem on 3
servers that got updated with the bad patch automatically.  We thought it
was a virus and I ended up wiping all 3 and reinstalling.
