I used : OnePiece's Internet Explorer 7 True Addon w/updates from WinCert.Net on a Virtual Machine and don't have any updates for IE7. The machine I'm on now is using SP3 v5503 and nothing is integrated (from original Dell CD) and I got this update thru automatic updates and it worked ok. I noticed my custom mshtml.dll was restored to the original after the update. Checked the version #'s and my VM had the highest so...

Some reason I just don't believe you. I think I'll try it my way and test it in a VM

So with this tool... I can make a customized version of shell32.dll and then compress it using the above then copy that file to my XP_SourceCDi386 to replace then I can make a bootable disc to install windows and it'll be the shell32 that I customized? 'Cause that'd be sweet. Yes. But in same cases you will have to disable SFC (Windows File Protection). You can do that with nLite. Cheers Why would I need to disable WFP if the file that was installed is the file that I customized Does it keep a separate catalogue or something? 'Cause WFP has its purposes...

Is that the version of the actual *.exe file? Right click>Properties>Version ; Because my v7.0.6000.20772 beats your v7.0.5730.13 But yes, M$ did release a new IE7 installer - one that removed the WGA check or somethin' like that. It'd be a nice feature for nlite to include pop-ups for overwriting newer ver. files with older...

What are the latest versions of IE7 and WMP11? Two files that I look at are: iexplore.exe: 7.0.6000.20772 and wmp.dll: 11.0.5721.5237 Reason being because the "About" option in the app just gives the installer version from the M$ site. Anyone else have higher?

Did anyone notice that Softpedia offers their own download for the final sp3? Are they allowed to do that?

I've wondered the same, but just thought that M$ updated the installers for IE and WMP at their download center... It's an assumption...
