There are almost all updates and IE 7 can be securely downloaded afterwards.
Re: IE7 Installation fails
In the update to v7 Windows Update has created a problem in more than Win XP machines. Many XP machines try to use the old v6 of the website.
Symptoms: Shortly after the computer is started yesterday the apparent cold for a long time. Svchost may use 100% of CPU. Windows will not respond to right click and it is difficult to get task manager up.
Start by typing services.msc, and then stop the service Automatic Updates. This should allow time to run the following fixes.
Start by updating the Windows Update agent. This can be done by downloading it from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
Close all browsers while the update is run.
If there comes an error message that the file is already installed, try installing it with wuforce switch: WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe / wuforce
Run then the hotfix that solves a problem in msi.dll:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-404327772e5a
If the problem then do the following:
Stop the automatic updates, but does not disable the service.
Go to C: \ WINDOWS \ SoftwareDistribution \ Download and delete the contents of the folder. Go also to C: \ WINDOWS \ SoftwareDistribution \ Datastore and delete the file DataStore.edb (this deletes windows update history).
Try Windows Update.
If it still does not work, stop automatic updates service again and rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old. Windows would rebuild it automatically on next visit to Windows Update
