First...if you don't have a separate machine you can use for the Beta IE7,
then install it at your own risk. Never install Beta software on your only
or production machine. Also, do not install IE7 with the idea that it will
resolve any problems with IE6, as it won't, and may cause even more. Many
people have made that mistake, and wound up with bigger headaches. If you
must install the IE7, then read the Release notes first, as least you will
be prewarned.
For the update:
Windows Update Fails:
Courtesy of Frank Saunders -
Click on START and the RUN put in each line seen below and clicked on
OK. (do each one line at a time)
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuapi.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\atl.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wucltui.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wups.dll
Disable your anti-virus when obtaining the updates.
Make sure that your firewall is allowing the connection to Windows Update .
This would be on ports 80 and 443.
