I think it may help to post what you are seeing.

I'm not certain that pre-XPsp2 that that subkey would be always present.
E.g. it seems to be mostly used to activate hotfixes in IE6;
so if you don't have any hotfixes installed that subkey might not exist.

What is your maintenance level of IE?
At one point you could see it in Help, About
and list it by running the following script fragment in an IE Address bar:

javascript:navigator.appMinorVersion

Otherwise Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter

msinfo32 /category IEFileVersions

sort descending by Version (e.g. click on that header)
and capture the latest versions of the modules that you
have installed (e.g. press Ctrl-a,Ctrl-c).
That information could allow some of your updates to be inferred.

Or you could switch to a cmd window and see your list of
hotfixes by entering:

systeminfo >sysinfo.txt
and
notepad sysinfo.txt

then doing F3 find for Hotfix (apparently it can't decide
if it has one or more <w>)
