I'm configuring a "Windows Embedded Standard 7" install image, for an embedded application. Because of storage limits, "Internet Explorer 8 Browser" is not installed in the image, but "Internet Explorer 8 Engine and Display" and "Internet Explorer 8 Foundation" are.

After a fresh installation of the image, everything is working perfect. I can run inetcpl.cpl and the "Internet Properties" window opens. If I run services.msc the "Services" window opens on the "Extended" tab, and I can see all the services with an description to the left.

However, after installing "Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Embedded Standard 7 (KB2847204)", I can suddenly not open the "Internet Properties" window anymore, if I run inetcpl.cpl nothing happens. When I open the "Services" window, the "Extended" tab is completely empty and if I click on the "Standard" tab the following error message is shown:

Unable to download.

Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.

Please try again later

I can then uninstall KB2847204 and everything works perfect, like before.

So far I have tried to run the sfc /scannow command but that did not work.

As I'm not normally working on the Windows platform, I need advice on how to debug this problem..

Thanks in advance.

Had the exact same problem with a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (SP1). The description for MS13-038 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2847204) stated that the latest IE cumulative security update (MS13-037/KB2829530) should be applied as well. It wasn't on my system and after applying the cumulative update, the "services.msc" functionality was fully restored.
