Then the update is not needed, Jeff. As per posted previously:

Vulnerability Information > VBScript/JScript Remote Code Execution Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0083 >
FAQ for VBScript/JScript Remote Code Execution Vulnerability - CVE-2008-0083 :

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability? Client or workstation systems where
Internet Explorer is used to browse Web pages and where VBScript.dll and JScript.dll versions
below 5.6.0.8835 are used, are primarily at risk.

Thanks for confirming that KB944338 was not offered nor is it apparently needed to mitigate the vulnerability descrived above when Windows Script 5.7 is installed.
Will be attending a meeting with MS at 5 PM, PDST. If I hear anything different will post back with the info.

The version of internet explorer you have installed does not match the
update you are trying to install.

I have IE 7.

Anyone have an idea as to what I should do now?
