I already have IE5.5 SP1 installed and it appears to run without problems. I heard and read about the urgent security patch dated 12/13/01. When I went to Microsoft's Download Center to download the patch (2.15 Mbytes), I noted that the description said it required IE5.5 SP2. So instead of installing the patch directly, I saved it to disk. When I tried to execute the patch file, a dialog box appeared and stated that SP2 is required. I then tried to find SP2, but all I could find was a file (17 Mbytes) that appears to be the complete IE5.5 installation _including_ SP2. (I guess there is also a smaller version (8.4 Mbytes) that constitutes a minimal installation of IE5.5 with SP2.) However, all I want is SP2, not the whole install, so I downloaded IE5setup.exe. That too, seems to want to download either the 17 Mbyte or the 8.4 Mbyte file for a full or minimal IE5.5 install. Where can I get _just_ SP2?
I also would like to know whether IE5.5 SP1 has the same security vulnerabilities as IE5.5 SP2. If not, I guess I can just ignore the upgrade, but it sure would be nice if Microsoft's download Center were not so completely inscrutable about the need for various patches.
