Re: Missing Windows update reported as a vulnerability by TMH and

As you had the correct jscript file at the time you installed ie7,
(as shown in your registry and the "C:\WINDOWS\ie7" folder)
"something" - has caused some corruption or older version to be installed.
(maybe ie7 does not install jscript 5.7 for everyone- I don't know)

If ie7 installed properly, you should have :
C:\WINDOWS\ie7.log
C:\WINDOWS\ie7_main.log
(assuming you use "c" )

ie7updates folder are the updates to IE applied after installing ie7
and that are available for uninstallation. They show replaced files.

I would follow Mr. Green's instruction (and hereafter)
to download and install KB917344 then the cumulative IE update

If everything working properly, then update to this:
"Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP"

| To mae:
|
| I followed the instructions on
| http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#winxp , then
| searched for ie7.log using the Windows search tool. The only file found in C:
| containing 'ie7.log' in the filename was KB939653-IE7.log, located in
| C:\WINDOWS. I opened it and searched for 'IECUSTOM' and 'jscript.dll' using
| 'CTRL+F', but found none of those words.
|
| In "C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates", there is a subfolder "KB939653-IE7". In there, i
| looked version number of 'Iexplore.exe', 'Advpack.dll', and 'Dxtrans.dll',
| and none of them is v. 7.0.6000.16544, which is the right version number of
| 'Iexplore.exe', 'Advpack.dll', and 'Dxtrans.dll' contained in the
| KB939653-IE7 update ("for Internet Explorer 7 for all supported 32-bit
| editions of Windows XP"), according to Microsoft MS07-057 Bulletin. So, I
| suppose that the files in "C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates\KB939653-IE7" are the ones
| to be restored, replacing my present files in the case i uninstall KB939653.
| Is that right ?
|
| Likewise: In "C:\WINDOWS\ie7", I have a jscript.dll file and it is
| v.5.6.0.8831. So, if i uninstalled IE7, my jscript.dll file in
| "C:\WINDOWS\system32" would be replaced by this version, right ? But if you
| say that the installation of IE7 updates jscript.dll to 5.7, then how would
| you explain that presently, and having IE7 installed, my version of
| jscript.dll in "C:\WINDOWS\system32" is only v.5.6.0.8825 ? Your jscript.dll
| is version 5.7, right ?
|
| I believe my situation is different than yours...
|
| And your post raises yet another problem: If i reinstall manually KB917344
| as i intended, then my jscript.dll would become v.5.6.0.8831, but since i
| have IE7 installed, it should be v.5.7. Isn't that so ?
