Support for MS07-028

[Tomalak]

Hello,

I need this CAPICOm ActiveX control update:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS07-028.mspx

But it follows a strange naming convention. After decompressing the executable I get an .msi file. Is it correct just to put it into HF for the update to be integrated? Thanks!

Regards,

Tomalak

You have a Windows source with CAPICOM?

MSI files (except msxml*.msi) should go in HFSVCPACK_SW (for installation at T-13) or in HFGUIRUNONCE (for installation at first GUI logon).

Wouldn't it be easier to get the CAPICOM 2.1.0.2 full redist?

Wouldn't it be easier to get the CAPICOM 2.1.0.2 full redist?

that's the SDK. do regular end-users need whatever extra gunk is included in the SDK or would it be better to go with the HF suggested by Tomalak, extract the .MSI from within and put it in HFSVCPACK_SW?

The hotfix is only an update...

Hello,

just to clarify: no, my source does not contain the CAPICOM. I just stumpled upon this update on http://www.patch-info.de/winxp/ which (besides your list, TC76 ) also shows all updates necessary for an Win XP SP2 source. It contains a few more optional patches and is always up-to-date, explicitly stating the replaced hotfixes.

Regarding MS07-028 the article mentions that installation is not necessary, but it advises to do so as it wouldn't hurt and would be a "precautionary step". So the author is wrong in recommending only the update instead of the full redist? Maybe I'll drop it completely from my next installation...
