Hi Mike,

The patch does registry entry adjustments and does not modify any EXEs or DLLs, so the answer is that Setups created are not "patched". After you have applied the patch, when you create future setups, you can include the EXE into your setup as the "post-installation executable" and run it in silent mode (run the patch EXE with /? or /Help for details on silent mode).

I.e. if I build a setup.exe via the Wizard after applying the patch on my own development system, does this fix get installed on the end user's machine when they run my setup program? The KB article and TechNet Security Bulletin are not altogether clear on this point.
