It's worse than that. I have two systems running Windows 2000 at home that
I've just upgraded to IE5.5SP2 (since Microsoft are dropping support for
IE5.01SP2 at the end of June). Both have been kept to the same patch level,
as I've checked them with both Windows update and hfnetchk.

One of them refuses to install MS02-023, saying that I need IE5.5SP2
installed. That's what I have installed! I rolled back to IE5.01SP2 and
re-installed IE5.5SP2. Same problem.

A dogs breakfast springs to mind.
