How to check if 814078 security update patch is installed or not?

[Debdatta Sen]

Hi,

When Add/Remove Programs doesn't show an installed
security patch and nor does the registry, do you know any
other way to confirm whether a security patch like 814078
(Microsoft Jscript 5.6 Security Update for Windows
2000/XP) is installed or not on a machine?

Thanks.

The general case seems to be fairly tricky since there is no entry in
the registry marking this change. However, article 814078
includes the following information:

Depending on the version of JScript installed (5.1, 5.5 or 5.6), one of
the following files will be present in the %WINDIR%\System32 folder.

Date Time Version Size File name
-----------------------------------------------------
13-Jan-2003 20:57 5.6.0.8513 589,881 Jscript.dll
13-Jan-2003 18:53 5.5.0.8513 553,020 Jscript.dll
14-Jan-2003 14:58 5.1.0.8513 487,481 Jscript.dll

So to confirm that the update has been installed, locate jscript.dll and
check its version number.
