JSI Tip 0242 - Service Pack 3 did not replace Poledit.exe.

Due to an error in the SP3 update.inf file, poledit.exe was not updated by the Service Pack install. To correct this problem, expand the Service Pack manually by typing:

ServicePackFileName.exe /x

Edit update.inf and move the poledit.exe line from the \[MustReplace.System32.files\] section to the \[SystemRoot.files\] section.

Then copy the poledit.exe from the expanded Service Pack to %SystemRoot%.

If you have to re-apply the Service Pack in the future, Expand it and use your updated update.inf file.
