IE7 pattern match in CMD file incorrect (at least for Windows XP) 20 December 2007 23:50

Running updater on Windows XP received error that it could not find
IE7 files.  Looking at expression it says this:

set
IE_FILENAME=..\%OS_NAME%\%OS_LANGUAGE%\ie7-windowsxp-x86-%OS_LANGUAGE
%_*.exe

But the filenames I can see would actually match this:

set 
IE_FILENAME=..\%OS_NAME%\%OS_LANGUAGE%\ie7-windowsxp-kb??????-x86-%OS
_LANGUAGE%_*.exe

I'm still running version 3 - apologies if this was corrected in a
more recent version and I've just missed it.

Thank you.
