PNGFILT.DLL

[bristols]

I had PNGFILT.DLL build 6.00.2800.1506, dated 27 April 2005 17:50:00, in my System directory. This seems to be the build included in the 883939 IE CU.

The latest IE Cumulative Update, 905915, contains PNGFILT.DLL build 6.00.2800.1505, dated 27 April 2005 09:53:06.

So 905915 contains an earlier version of PNGFILT.DLL than 883939. Strange (isn't it?).

Can anyone please confirm this? And if so, any ideas as to why this is?

This topic was already discussed here, please read MS KB article 897225.

I have recommended to Gape to add

; 897225 - Install QFE version of IE updates
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer","QFEInstalled",0x10001,1

to the SESP but it is not there yet.

IE6.0sp1-KB905915-Windows-98-ME-x86-ENU.exe contains two sets of files, GDR and QFE:

BROWSEUI.DLL	6.0.2800.1692	6.0.2800.1692

PNGFILT.DLL version 6.00.2800.1505 and build 1506 are only compatible with IE 6.x and not compatible with IE 5.x and may cause problems with IE 5.x. So this file should NOT be included in the Win98se SP since the SP only contains updates for IE 5.

Thanks Petr.

Hope the QFEInstalled reg fix is included in the next service pack.

Thanks Petr.

Hope the QFEInstalled reg fix is included in the next service pack.

whups. wasnt paying close attention. The QFEInstalled registry setting should be a good addition to the 98se SP. It'll make those new IE6 SP1 security updates install the QFE versions of files instead of the normal GDR versions.
