Internet Explorer 6 Cumulative Security Update MS05-038 is marked as available but if you try you get an error... it's still not there ...why?

--------------
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS05-038.mspx
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-038
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (896727)

Issued: August 9, 2005
Version: 1.0
-------------

Try downloading from any link below like :

---------
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or on Microsoft Windows
XP Service Pack 1 Download the update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...E-2EF6D2FBC9ED


Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 Download the update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...A-43406DF4858E

-----------


And this is what you'll get instead of the page where to download the localized installers :

" The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to
access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page. "


When is it going to be fixed ?

Hi,

The IE6 Service Pack 1 patch link have worked all the time, but you are
correct in that the IE6 Service Pack 2 link have not worked because
Microsoft had to retract the file because of a digital signature issue.

Microsoft just now enabled the IE6 SP2 update download again.
