================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Windows Update, used with:  Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Windows 95 == Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows 98 ==  

= SYMPTOMS =

Although you may have previously installed one or more of the components available on the Windows Update site, they may still appear in the Product Catalog as being available to download.

= CAUSE =

Windows Update uses an alternate format for recording component version numbers in the Windows registry. Therefore, when the Product Catalog initializes, it may fail to recognize components installed from a location other than Windows Update.

= STATUS =

Registry entries for all components are scheduled to be standardized during the revision of Windows Update later this year.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The functionality of these components is the same regardless of the download site used.
