SYMPTOMS
========
When you install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on a computer running Windows NT
4.0 Service Pack 3, new encryption files are installed. However, when you
install Internet Explorer 5 on a computer running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4,
these encryption files are not updated, even though they are older files.
CAUSE
=====
This issue occurs because of a file versioning problem. Even though the files
are older, their version was higher and thus, they were not overwritten. This
behavior has been corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) so that both
Internet Explorer 5 and SP5 install the same version of these encryption files.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0. For
additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT 4.0. This problem was
first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5.
