Help installing updates:Known issues with this security update
Issue 1
Symptoms
You install this security update on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer that is running a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer that is earlier than Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5. When you do this, a script that uses features from VBScript 5.0 or a later version of VBScript does not work.
For example, you run a script that uses a feature that is provided by VBScript 5.0 or a later version of VBScript, such as RegExp. When you do this, you may receive an error message that resembles the following error message:Library is not registered.
Cause
This issue occurs because the installer file for this security update does not add a registry entry that is associated with the new VBScript.dll file.
Workaround
To work around this issue, open a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Issue 2
A setup issue was causing the update for VBScript 5.6 and JScript 5.6 to not be offered, and not installed, if Windows Internet Explorer 7 is installed on the system. The solution is a detection change to this security update. Customers who have successfully updated their systems do not need to reinstall this update.
