@mimo Your updatelist for Windows XP, Table 4, Date 2013-07 KB 2862772 for Internet Explorer 8 is not optional (Cumulative security update). However, when I put it in HF, Windows Update still asked for it (checked in virtual machine). This hotfix modifies the registry in a non-standard way, so HFSLIP doesn't modify all new registry entries. I have not tried this for IE6 and IE7, these might have the same problem. ------- Replaced with the next cumulative update (sept 2013), which gives no problem.
