Please read the FAQ: The update does the following: * Installs a CRL onto the local machine. The CRL lists the two bogus certificates as having been revoked. * Adds new functionality via a piece of software called an installable revocation handler that causes the system to check the CRL on the machine if the CDP data is missing or invalid. * Turns on CRL checking in IE for software publisher's certificates. In other words, it's a simple patch that does nothing that needs localization, which is also mentioned below: "Localization: The update is not language-specific. It can be installed on systems using any language." By the way, try to read the FAQ, it's quite funny: "No. A patch corrects a flaw in a piece of software. In this case, though, there isn?t a flaw in any Microsoft product." How do you apply a change to some source code in order to add some functionality? You patch it. How do you change the serial number in a binary file, if you want all files to have unique ID's? You patch it! At patch changes something in another file. So, it's a patch. Lars.
