Probably because the "patch" is not really installing anything new for IE. It
is just setting a "killbit", setting the compatibility mode to 1024 so IE
doesn't call that component any longer.
Just a SWAG. But that would explain why you don't see anything under
installed components (I haven't checked).
BTW, srvinfo reports 903235 under "Windows Server 2003" here - I don't have
an XP handy. I'm guessing it's not under IE because it's not technically an
IE fix.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Questions about hotfix 903235 (MS05-037)
Hi -
I've posted this elsewhere, but thought maybe not a bad idea to run it
past this list for those that don't mind (thanks). I've seen the following
behavior with regard to this hotfix 903235:
(1) The bulletin MS05-037 states to check here for its existence (post
installation):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{03D9F3F2-B0E3-11D2-B081-006008039BF0}
In the past, the 'norm' for IExpress-type patches has been here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{8ade8c02-8da6-4ec1-a9ee-ec00ff73ce98}
[note: GUID above is specific to this hotfix] Why this change in
documentation?
(2) I find that the SRVINFO tool does NOT identify this hotfix on SP1 (XP)
and SP4 (2000) machines. Was expecting to see it under the "Internet
Explorer 6" subheading of the SRVINFO output for these O/S.
(3) I find that MBSA v.2 neither identifies it as installed nor identifies
it as missing on SP1/2 (XP) and SP4 (2000) machines.
Can anyone else corrorborate these findings? I'm told by our TAM that
nobody else has reported this yet.
Thanks!
