Faulty inetres.adml on Windows 7 client

windows 7

I am a system integrator in training and I've been running into an issue when setting up our systems.
After installing all updates on Windows 7 there is an error message when opening the Group Policy Editor, something along the lines of "The in the attribute "$string.VerMgmtAuditModeEnable") requested resource displayName could not be found – File: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\inetres.admx"

This error doesn't necessarily affect the normal operations the systems are intended for, it is annoying nonetheless.
I have already determined that this is due to a faulty .adml file for at least the German package. Currently my workaround is to copy over a working .adml file from one of our workstations that are unaffected somehow; this, however, is quite a hassle because it requires a lot of clicking with taking over file ownership and all.

I can only assume that one of the Windows updates is responsible, but I haven't been able to isolate a specific update as of yet.

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue before and can offer some insight into how this comes to be, or whether there is an easier way to fix it than my workaround – my google searches only turned up a few results involving Windows server operating systems.

Certainly sounds like somebody updated the Administrative Template without updating the corresponding language file.

Go to Microsoft's Download Center and download the latest release of the Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer.

You did not speficy what language you're seeing this with, but I can confirm that at least the en-US version of the latest release (August 2014) contains a string with identifier VerMgmtAuditModeEnable
