MS05-025: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer

System TipThis article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows Vista Solution Center
Microsoft has released security bulletin MS05-025. The security bulletin contains all the relevant information about the update rollup. This information includes file manifest information and deployment options. To view the complete security bulletin, visit the following Microsoft Web sites:
Notes
  • Update rollup 883939 includes the cumulative security fixes that are documented in security bulletin MS05-025. The update rollup also includes hotfixes for Microsoft Internet Explorer that have been released after the release of security bulletin MS04-004 and of security bulletin MS04-025.
  • If update rollup 873377, update rollup 889669, or an Internet Explorer hotfix that was released after security bulletin MS04-038 are not installed, and if you want to install the hotfixes that are included in update rollup 883939, you must follow the instructions in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 897225. Otherwise, all Internet Explorer hotfixes that you have installed are removed.
    897225  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=897225/ ) How to install hotfixes that are included in cumulative security updates for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
    The update rollup 883939 installer verifies whether one or more of the files that are being updated on the computer have previously been updated by an Internet Explorer hotfix. However, the installer detects only hotfixes that were released after security bulletin MS04-038, after update rollup 873377, or after update rollup 889669. Therefore, if you have installed update rollup 873377, update rollup 889669, or an Internet Explorer hotfix that was released after update rollup 873377, the update rollup 883939 installer automatically installs the hotfixes and the security updates that are included in update rollup 883939.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
