First, to answer MowGreen: I have Avast AV installed in my system. Usually, i
do not disable it prior to installing Windows updates. Most times, i don't
disable it even before installing other programs, but to date, i never noted
any installation problem caused by Avast being running in the background.
Perhaps i should disable it before any installation from now on ? That would
be impossible to manage if i had 'Windows Update' configured to automatically
download and install updates...
To my view, what MowGreen said *is not* compatible with what mae said in
post#9. *Read the following quotes* to see what i mean:

KB917344

Check system32\dllcache for the Version of jscript.dll, please. It
appears that 'something' did not allow the file to be updated but did
allow the change in the registry.
If the copy of jscript.dll is V. 5.6.0.8831 then see if you can copy it
over to WINDOWS\system32 and replace the older V.
If the V. in system32/dllcache is the older one, then yes, reinstall the
update.

For your information, with my IE7:
KB917344 does not show in the add/remove under Windows Updates.
That is because installation of IE7 hides it, as it updates the jscript.dll
to
5.7.

That is, according to mae, I should have jscript.dll v.5.7, since I have IE7
installed. But according to MowGreen, it was expected that I had jscript.dll
v.5.6.0.8831, and by following his recommendations, i would end up with
jscript.dll v.5.6.0.8831 in C:\WINDOWS\system32.
Another thing. I *don't have* both:
C:\WINDOWS\ie7.log
C:\WINDOWS\ie7_main.log
(My Windows OS is installed in the C: partition of my HD)
Like i said in post#10,the only file I have in C:\WINDOWS containing
'ie7.log' in the filename is KB939653-IE7.log. Should I assume that IE7 was
not installed properly ?
Considering what's been said, i'd like to try the following solution:
1. Uninstall IE7
2. Check again version of jscript.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32. If it is
v.5.6.0.8831 (like the one i have in C:\WINDOWS\ie7), there's no need to
install KB917344. If jscript.dll is v.5.6.0.8825 (like it is now), then
reinstall KB917344.
3. Reinstall IE7
4. Reinstall the cumulative IE update KB939653.
This solution seems to be more radical than the ones proposed, but it also
seems to be the more reliable to me. Do you see any potential problem or
inconvenient in doing this ?
