Internet Explorer 7.0 Installation Failure

[Guest KarenLynn]

I have and use IE 7.0 but when I go to the Microsoft Updates site, it keeps

wanting to download and install IE 7.0. When I try to do that, I get an

installation failure, error code 0x643. All the other updates are

successful. Why does the update scan not recognize that I already have IE

7.0 and how can I correct it?

Is the Windows Installer service running?

Check via Start -> Run -> services.msc

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917925 has additional information on

other possible causes.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

 

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!

http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

 

[And I strongly recommend using

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the

installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.]
