This is probably obvious, but I just want to be sure.

Same goes for IE6, if I install IE8 right?

Thanks

There's one exception in case of IE6/8: KB2898785. The IE6 version updates one more file than the IE8 one. You can find details on the Mimo's Windows XP Updates List.

So you suggest installing WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe and IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe ?

If you choose to update the core files, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and Remote Desktop Connection, then you should prepare correct version update packages. You can read this info at Mim0's website. It may make an error if you mix two or more versions updates.

No, You don't need to copy WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe to HF folder, IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe should be in the HF folder.

I know HFSLIP proceeds WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe before IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe, so if WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe is in the HF folder, although, it may be fine. We only need shdocvw.dll from WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe, IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-XXX.exe does not have it.

Ah. I forgot that only the dll is needed. MS sure seems to know how to make things complicated.

Thanks for clarifying!
