IE6 hotpatch KB-896156 (March 2005) Mshtmled.dll

[Guest wsxedcrfv]

The hotfix for this item:

Internet Explorer 6 may stop responding, and you may receive an error message when you dynamically remove an HTML element from a Web page

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896156

does not seem to have been made publicly available, but I have stumbled across an MS download link for it (as a password-protected .zip file) along with the password. I already have the same version of Mshtmled.dll installed on my system - so I was wondering where or how I got it. The partial download link is "hotfixv4.microsoft.com" (didn't know that existed before).

You can get it from Maximus-Decim's MDIE6CU or from soporific's Autopatcher for 98SE or from MDGx. Well if that's not publicly available I don't know what is.

Perhaps you need to get out more!!

You can download password-protected 227994_ENU_i386_zip.exe from Microsoft's link, and find Mshtmled.dll(6.00.2800.1501) at IE6.0sp1-KB896156-Windows-98-ME-x86-ENU.exe.

Apparently there's an even newer verion of MSHTML.DLL -> 6.00.2800.1555 (?)

(is there a download link for it?)

Read carefully. This thread is about mshtmlED.dll, not mshtml.dll.

-> 6.00.2800.1555 (?) (is there a download link for it?)

New updates for IE6 SP1 libraries still come with Windows 2000. The newest MSHTML.DLL is version 6.0.2800.1645 dated 2009-12-17.

The newest MSHTML.DLL is version 6.0.2800.1645 dated 2009-12-17.

My MSHTML.DLL is version 6.00.2800.1644 dated 2009-12-16 from MS10-002 (KB978207).

From where did you got yours?

EDIT: Huum, according to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=978207 the 2 versions could be the same AFAIK.

Do we know which of the files located in IE6.0sp1-KB978207-Windows2000-x86-ENU\rtmgdr file can (and can't) be used on win-98se?

Not quite the same. There are usually two versions in IE update:

- RTMGDR - complete updated files in separate directory (v.1644 above);

- QFE - additional hotfixes in patches for RTMGDR files (v.1645 above).

The QFE version has a number always bumped by 1 and a time stamp usually different from the original updated file.

Thanks to make it clear.

Does that mean that we have to prefer one version on the other,

when we want to install the file(s) in Windows 98SE?

I usually try the QFE first. In case it works OK, I dont even bother to try the GDR.
