Internet Explorer 7 + all Cumulative Updates?

[zaqxsw]

I've integrated WinXP before, but just every few years, so I'm just a little beyond being a newbie.

I want to use nLite to integrate IE7 + updates into my WinXP Pro SP3 installation files. I've done a lot of reading about this and wondered what cumulative updates I need to use.

I have the 5/6/08 IE7 main program downloaded. I'm not sure if that means all updates prior to 5/6/08 are already in this installation file.

I also have the following IE7 cumulative updates:

IE7-WindowsXP-KB947864-x86-ENU_030108.exe

IE7-WindowsXP-KB950759-x86-ENU_52008.exe

IE7-WindowsXP-KB953838-x86-ENU_62608.exe

IE7-WindowsXP-KB956390-x86-ENU_100308.exe

As it shows, I renamed these updates with the dates they were released (ie _100308).

Do I need to integrate all of these, or just the ones later than 5/6/08, or just the last one: IE7-WindowsXP-KB956390-x86-ENU_100308.exe? Am I missing anything to have the latest IE7 integrated?

Thanks for any replies!

Why not use just one of the pre-made IE7 + cumulative updates packages? The authors of those add-ons update them with every new patch cycle and are very dedicated !!

Check 'em out:

http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1104 --> Internet Explorer 7 English w/Updates (v2.0.2)

I personally use Onepiece's (I don't think there was anything of a major difference, it was just that MrNxDmX's add-on didn't work well with the tweaks I did).

NOTE::

These add-ons haven't been updated for the October Patches. Hey, people are busy, so just sit back and give 'em some time .

These are the ones I use. Note you only need the latest Cumulative Security Update.

If you look in the KB article it will tell you if a patch replaces another patch. For XP SP3 IE 7 MS07-050 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB938127-x86-ENU.exe) patch shows that it replaces MS08-045 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB953838-x86-ENU.exe), MS08-045 replaced MS08-031 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB950759-x86-ENU.exe), MS08-031 replaced MS08-024 (IE7-WindowsXP-KB947864-x86-ENU.exe).

You may also want to install the following.

Thanks folks! This helps a bunch!

Note the updates are cumulative. Meaning you only ever need the latest one.

What are the advantages of using a created IE7 Add-on versus the original IE7 installation file and the latest Updates?
