From Sunbelt Software's W2K News:
Internal testing by St. Bernard Software demonstrates that installing SP4
before, or after, MS03-026 results in the correct file versions remaining in
Winnt\System32 directory as listed below. The fields shown below are date,
time, size, version, and name.

07/05/2003 10:15a 944,912 5.0.2195.6769 Ole32.dll
07/05/2003 10:15a 432,400 5.0.2195.6753 Rpcrt4.dll
07/05/2003 10:15a 188,688 5.0.2195.6769 Rpcss.dll


To verify that you have the correct files installed, use "dir" to verify the
date/time and filesize information, or right-click on each file to see its
"properties", which will get you the version numbers (in bold) above. This
is the most accurate way to verify that the DLLs from MS03-026 are in place.

The general answer to this question is that you always reinstall any
hotfixes that are still required if you upgrade the SP of that product, but
the hotfix is not yet incorporated into the SP you just installed.
Regardless of whether or not this was required in this case (I read the
other leg of this thread where it says you don't have to) and I'm telling
you that this example was luck, not procedure. MS is working to make the
file versioning work correctly, and actually making progress, but it really
is just common sense to understand that if you think of the idea of
installing an SP is trying to put your system to a known condition, you have
to assume that in some cases, that means it may force the reversal of
conditions it doesn't see as it wants. It's not just the file versions that
matter, it the registry settings, perhaps even coexistence of other products
that will affect why an SP does what it does.

Always follow an SP install with a reinstall of the hotfixes that post-date
that SP. Always.
