INTRODUCTION

An update rollup is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (version 6.00.2800.1106). Update rollup 889669 includes security update 889293 (MS04-040) and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 hotfixes that were created after Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004. For Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 6a, Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition, most Internet Explorer hotfixes are not included in MS04-040.

When you install one or more of the MS04-040 security updates for Internet Explorer 6 SP1, Internet Explorer hotfixes released since MS04-004 will be removed if the hotfix replaced one or more of the files listed in the "Security Update Information" section of Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-040. Starting with MS04-025, cumulative hotfixes for Internet Explorer are available in a separate update rollup that includes both cumulative hotfixes and the security fixes included in the latest security update for Internet Explorer. For example, update rollup 871260 includes the cumulative security fixes in MS04-025 and hotfixes released since MS04-004. Update rollup 889669 includes the cumulative security fixes in MS04-040 and hotfixes released since MS04-004. For additional information about hotfixes included in update rollup 889669, see the "List of fixes that are included in this update rollup" section. The hotfix versions of the files that are included in this update rollup are installed regardless of whether you have previously installed an Internet Explorer hotfix to update one or more of the files that are listed in the "Security Update Information" section of the security bulletin.

Installation information

You must be logged on as an administrator to install update rollup 889669 and security update 889293. To install a downloaded version of update rollup 889669, run the 889669 update rollup package that you downloaded by using the appropriate Setup switches. If you are an enterprise administrator, you can deploy update rollup 889669 and security update 889293 by using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Feature Pack or by using SMS 2003. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) can recognize that update rollup 889669 has been installed and, if it has, to correctly indicate that MS04-040 is present. You can use SMS to deploy the security update or the update rollup. This is because MBSA recognizes the newer file versions of the rollup as equivalent to the MS04-040 security update from a security perspective. You cannot use MBSA to determine whether the update rollup is relevant for a specific computer. For example, you cannot use MSBA to determine whether the computer is running any post-MS04-004 hotfixes. You can only use MSBA to determine whether the minimum security baseline that is established by MS04-040 has been met. You cannot use Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS) to deploy update rollup 889669. For additional information about using SMS to deploy update rollup 889669 to only those computers that are running post-MS04-004 hotfixes or how to determine whether the update rollup has been installed on client computers, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

867832 How to distribute software updates that are not detected by the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer in Systems Management Server 2003

You can use one of the following methods to verify that update rollup 889669 or security update 889293 has been installed:

WIndows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, Version 2003, and Windows XP (all editions)
