For your information, with my IE7:
KB917344 does not show in the add/remove under Windows Updates.
That is because installation of IE7 hides it, as it updates the jscript.dll to
5.7.
Belarc does show for me as installed properly.


Check it here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KB917344]
"RegistryLocation"="HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Updates\\Windows
XP\\SP3\\KB917344"
"HiddenByIE7Setup"=dword:00000001

Also examine the ie7.log and see if you have something like this:
IECUSTOM: Hiding update 'KB917344' MS06-023: Vulnerability in Microsoft JScript
Copied file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\jscript.dll
Copied file (delayed): C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET73.tmp
Source:C:\WINDOWS\system32\SET73.tmp (5.7.0.5730)
Destination:C:\WINDOWS\system32\jscript.dll (5.6.0.8831)

The "C:\WINDOWS\ie7" folder is the uninstall IE7 information.
They represent your files they would restore.
They also show the jscript.dll that they would restore (should be v.5.6.08831)
The "C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates" folder shows current ie7updates.

I don't know what caused your problem but maybe this will help explain.

| Thank you, MowGreen. I was glad to see your reply. I believe it will be

| I searched and found the file jscript.dll in WINDOWS\system32. I
| rick-clicked it, selected properties, and checked its version: it’s V.
| 5.6.0.8825, not V. 5.6.0.8831.
| However, I think that the Windows registry does not match my jscript.dll

| XP\SP3\KB917344\Filelist. Under Filelist, I have 3 subfolders: 0, 1, and 2.
| If I click each of this subfolders, I see in the last line of the right pane:
| Version REG_SZ 5.6.0.8831
| I exported the registry branch, opened it with Notepad, and copied it. I’m

|
| I believe that my Windows registry keys correspond to version 5.6.0.8831,
| and not to the version I have, and perhaps that’s the reason why the
| Microsoft Update website doesn’t prompt me to install KB917344. Is this right
| ? Should I download and reinstall manually KB917344 ?
|
| There’s another thing I haven’t told in post#1: Belarc Advisor but not TM
| Housecall failed also the verification of the last IE7 cumulative update
| KB939653. However, I searched in Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and I
| found it under ‘Windows Internet Explorer 7 – Software Updates’. I think it’s
| probably a false detection of security vulnerability by Belarc. But how can I
| confirm if KB939653-IE7 is correctly installed in my system ?
|
| Finally, and answering to your last question, I didn’t delete any folders
| from nor have deleted WINDOWS\$hf_mig$.
| Any help is appreciated.
