Guest PinguJohn Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Has Microsoft removed IE7 from Windows Update? I have had to do a complete re-installation of Windows XP Home following a system crash. Everything has gone fine and I have updated Windows using Windows Update (over 100 updates). Previously I was using IE7, however IE7 has not appeared as an available update in Windows Update and so I am still using IE6. About shows:- Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 Cipher Strength: 128-bit Product ID: 55277-OEM-0016194-98194 Update version: SP2 So how do I update to IE7?

Yes, since October 5th or so. Although until now there hasn't been any statement by MS (I'm aware of) on the reason for doing so, it *may* be related to the URI handling change in IE7 which opens a potential security hole (running in Windows XP and Server 2003). MS is working on an update to fix that hole, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/943521.mspx and http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2007/10/10/msrc-blog-additional-details-and-background-on-security-advisory-943521.aspx Until this update is released by MS, I would recommend to *NOT* install IE7 on Windows XP/2003 anyway. Bye, Freudi
