Odd Windows 8.1 updates

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I ran MBSA 2.3 on a recently-installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise system (32-bit). Two of the suggested updates seem a little peculiar: capicom-kb931906-v2102 and msxml6-kb925673-enu-x86. The reason they seem peculiar to me is their age -- the dates on those files are 05/01/2007 and 10/09/2006 (MM-DD-YYYY), respectively.

 

Here is some more info:

Not sure about the XML one... but the capicom... Is there a capicom.dll in your system32 folder? It may have been put there by another application. I do not think this DLL comes with Windows 8 as it isn't even on a Win7 I just checked.

 

Yes, there is a capicom.dll in the system32 folder. But another thing that's strange is that it appears to already be at version 2.1.0.2.

 

Out of curiosity, I went ahead and installed the update. The DLL in the update appears to be identical to the one in the system32 directory (identical SHA1 values).
