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.
Using Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1 x64 - about a month old since setting up. IE9 update came shortly after setting up and is actually is running OK well except that the update keeps presenting itself and fails with **Code 9C48.**I just want this update failure to stop because a litany of other problems (with BOINC and Chrome) have occurred and I want all MS updates complete before I tackle them.
This all began after Security Essentials (MSEC) broke Google Chrome by mistaking it for PWS:Wins32/Zbot
So I follow the steps on the OP and:
"An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled."
Uninstalling the update does not complete.
I looked in Action Centre - System and Security Fix problems with Windows Update
"Online search for updates ran successfully. Restart Windows Update and click ' Check for updates'"
No change, no feedback: 1 important update is available
"Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems 36.7MB"
(It has finished downloading as is ready to install)
I run it and it fails with **Code 9C48.**I tried uninstalling EVERYTHING that left a process in my Task Manager which was not Hard Ware related. Including MSEC
As before... 1 important update is available
"Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems 36.7MB"
(It has finished downloading as is ready to install)
I run it and it fails with **Code 9C48.**So... no change there.
Looking at my update history - the oldest entry for IE9 for Win7 x64 is exactly the same, successfully installed and appears to work - apart from the attempted updates above now replacing my old home page with MSN.
I hide the failed update and lo! new update are queued up, ready to download and install.
But this is not a fix - it's a work around and - to be quite frank, a mess. And after clearing the backlog of essential updates - the problems I was experiencing with other programs has not changed in the slightest.
This is a waste of my time. Having to continually fix problems like this is like buying a car and never driving because it's always in your garage being repaired.
In other words: not fit for purpose.
So I am now very happy to report I have found a better solution: sell the PC to some poor mug on eBay so they can rip their hair out over this - and buy a Mac.
i m trying to upgrade to IE9 but error code 9c48 is showing and even ma old IE is not working
