I just saw this on versiontracker and I was curious if it's legit. It's
Microsoft Internet Explorer - 7.00.6000.16512 and to install it one just uses
the installer if I remember correctly. It would remove the old version and
install the current version. Also, would installing this version have any
effect on the cumulative security update issued on patch tuesday this week?

Thanks!

Why bother with that crap?

If you want an upgrade get it from Microsoft

That's why I asked the question. :) I want to make sure it's legit.

Go to Program Files/Internet Explorer and look at the build number of
ieexplore.exe. It should already be 7.00.6000.16512

Windows version?

%system%\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe <= what version is
this file on your machine? [If you're running IE7 in WinXP and the
machine's fully patched, it should be v7.00.6000.16512.]

Sometimes different builds of the same product are used on different
Windows platforms. Use the Windows Update site to determine if you
have the latest version for your platform.

I just went to the Windows Update site and it had no further updates
for my host. I am running Windows XP Pro SP-2. IE is at version
7.0.5730.11. So, as far as I can tell using Microsoft's own AX
control to query my system, that is the latest version of IE for WinXP
Pro SP-2.

Are you actually using WinXP Pro SP-2, or maybe WinXP 64, MediaCenter,
or Vista?

I just checked the file version of iexplore.exe and it is current, although
what is interesting, is that if one checks about internet explorer in the
help menu of ie7, it shows a different version number.

One is the file version, like 7.0.6000.16512 for iexplore.exe. The
one you see in Help -> About is the *program* version (the files for
which can be at various differing versions). So it depends on whether
the file or program version is being reported.

Are you sure? I believe this version is Vista only.

It appears the latest XP version is 7.00.5730.1100.

Again, what version is %system%\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
<=this file?
