Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 "troutman" <tim_brasington[ at ]telus.net> 12/18/2008 8:50:10 PM I am running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP2 Beta applied as well as Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 x64. No KB960714 browser patch has been offered and my internet research regarding this particular combination has not turned up any results. Do I not need the patch or was a patch not created for my situation? Not really a problem as I am currently experimenting with a handful of other browsers. Just curious.

RE: Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Carlos 12/19/2008 12:10:09 AM Hi, That update doesn't seem to apply to IE8. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-078.mspx Carlos "troutman" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP2 Beta applied as well as Internet > Explorer 8 Beta 2 x64.

Re: Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 "troutman" <tim_brasington[ at ]telus.net> 12/19/2008 12:35:41 AM Thanks for that link. In the FAQ there, I am led to believe it does apply to IE8 - Is the Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 release affected by this vulnerability? Yes. This vulnerability was reported after the release of Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. Customers running Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 are encouraged to download and apply the update to their systems. I will need to determine if the update can be done manually "Carlos" <Carlos[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:39E76B6D-CCA5-420A-98B2-1DAB689883BD[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 "troutman" <tim_brasington[ at ]telus.net> 12/19/2008 1:49:25 AM Thanks for this link as well. The way I read it, there is only a patch available for IE8 under Windows 7. I looked at all available KB960714 updates (there are 33 possibilities) and none seem to match my particular combination.

Re: Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 "troutman" <tim_brasington[ at ]telus.net> 12/20/2008 12:23:07 AM Since I don't use IE as my primary browser and I wouldn't describe any of my browsing as "mission critical", I believe I will run unpatched for a while.

Re: Vista x64 SP2 Beta and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 "troutman" <tim_brasington[ at ]telus.net> 12/21/2008 1:16:30 PM Finally found this information today on a Microsoft blog which I accessed from Microsoft Connect. This reply was posted by what appears to be a Microsoft employee in response to two questions similar to the one I posted here - _______________________________________________________________________________________ # re: IE December Out-of-Band release Thursday, December 18, 2008 10:39 AM by Terry McCoy [MSFT] [ at ]Jan Dzikowski [ at ]Glen Security is the priority here. If you are running Vista SP2 Beta with IE 8 Beta 2, I suggest you uninstall one of the two beta products to get a patch that will make you secure. Vista SP2 Beta was not a released product when IE 8 Beta 2 shipped. Technical issues prevented us from building a patch for this particular scenario. ________________________________________________________________________________________ PhilSweet - you apparently did what is necessary to install the patch by uninstalling SP2 Beta. Yet another example of why there is sometimes pain associated with being on the bleeding edge.
