I've cleaned the registry, retried update, rebooted, and still no luck. Any clue as to what this error code refers to ? My current version of IE is now dysfunctional too!

OK here is a solution (that worked for me):

a. Install IE9 from: http://internet-explorer.uk.msn.com/

b. Reboot

c. Uninstall IE9 (From: Control Pannel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates > Windows Internet Explorer 9)

d. Reboot

e. Run windows update and install IE9 (Now it will work).

f. Reboot.

===

I hope no more Reboots.

    Update for IE 9 of 19.1 MB will not install...error code 9C48 comes up.                         

    Tried to reinstall IE 9 and Microsoft site says "Newer version installed on computer...cannot install.

    Cannot find IE 9 under "Installed updates" from start menu

    Clicking the IE icon results in a quick flash on/off of a screen       :(

    Grateful for your concerns:

    This is FYI only since I have totally reformatted whole system:

    1, Automatic update which encapsulated IE9

    1. Already had IE9 running smoothly on the system
    2. IE9 was already installed by an earlier update - this problem update was an exact duplicate
    3. Only one update pending which was IE9 - all other updates were suspended until this was resolved or hidden.

    System:

    Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1.7601 SP1 build 7601

    Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 64-bit - Phoenix LTD 6.00PG

    Since completely reformatting HD and reinstalling Windows7 Ultimate from DVD - I have elected not to download IE9 update and continue running with IE8.

    Hi,

    1. Which update are you trying to install?
    2. Are you trying to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9?
    3. Did you try to download and install IE 9 manually?
    4. Does the error occur when you try to install any update?

    Please provide us some more information so that we can help you fix the problem.

    Hi Afzal,

    Has this been resolved yet?  This was an automatic update that was done I think during the monthly update.   I have 32 Bit Windows 7 and this 19.3 MB update has not been able to complete for over a month.  It comes back with Code 9C48.

    I have tried everything I can on the web and nothing works.  I can really see how to remove IE9 completely.  Just want to do that and reload IE9.  Even tried loading latest copy but hat doesn't work either.

    I have to believe this has been solved.

    Regards,

    Russ Fairchild
