Hi

This is what http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-028.mspx
says about the IE 6 SP1 update (IE6.0sp1-KB833989-x86-ENU.exe):

<quote>
In some cases, you do not have to restart your system after you
apply this update. However, if the required files are in use,
you must restart your system after you apply this update. If
this behavior occurs, a message is displayed that advises you
to restart your system. You do not have to use an administrator
logon after the system restarts for any version of this update.
</quote>

For a scripted, unattended installation of the update, test on the
return code from the exe, if it is 3010, a reboot is needed.

A VBScript example:

'--------------------8<----------------------

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
iRC = oShell.Run("IE6.0sp1-KB833989-x86-ENU.exe /q:a /r:n", 1, True)

If iRC = 3010 Then
   MsgBox "Boot needed"
Else
   MsgBox "Boot not needed"
End If

'--------------------8<----------------------
