KB2988414 and default search provider via INSTALL.INS

$

I use Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to preset search providers.

IEAK lets you nominate the default search provider (the one I have preset isn't Bing).

This creates [SearchProviders] in an INSTALL.INS file.  You can transfer this to

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\SIGNUP\install.ins

Before installing KB2988414, this process "just works".

After installing KB2988414, when you logon with a new profile, which triggers the Internet Explorer new profile process, Internet Explorer shows

An unknown program would like to change your default search provider to "[provider]"

However, this is a legitimate, Microsoft-provided process, not malicious software.

If I remove the following parameter from the [SearchProviders] block, then I no longer get the message, but the search provider defaults to Bing.

Default1=1

I believe this is a defect.

Kind regards,

Anwar
