Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  When you try to delete a Computed type of field in a document library or in a list, the field is not removed. Instead, you receive the following error message:

One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.

Additionally, if you use the list settings page to delete the field, you experience the same symptoms.

 Consider the following scenario. You have a standard root-site of a site collection that contains the following three standard groups:   Members</li>  Owners</li>  Visitors</li></ul>

You create a template that is based on the root-site. Then, you create a subsite that is based on the template. Later, if you delete the subsite, the three standard groups together with all members are also deleted.

</li> You have a document library that contains more than 1,000 documents that have unique permissions. When the document library is crawled, you receive an error message from the Site Data Web Service that resembles the following error message:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?>

- <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=&quot;http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xmlns:xsd=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;>

</soap:Envelope>

</li> You have Microsoft PowerPoint presentations that contain multiple slides in a document library. When the presentations are crawled, only the text from the first slide of the presentation is indexed. The text from the additional slides in the presentations is not indexed.

</li></ul>
