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.

    1. Which update are you trying to install? IE 9 update (had previously already installed this version)
    2. Are you trying to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9? Yes
    3. Did you try to download and install IE 9 manually? Yes (using Google Chrome to access the internet to get download file). Upon install attempt it says it won't install because are more recent version is already installed. Current IE on computer is INOPERABLE.
    4. Does the error occur when you try to install any update? No, all other updates have worked properly.

    Simlar issue - I have installed ie9 (the latest version) in Windows 7 and the installation has somehow become corrupted. If I try opening ie9 the window quickly opens and closes.

    I've tried resetting Internet Options from Control Panel. No luck. Next tried to un-install from Programs & Features->Windows Updates->Windows Internet Explorer, but ie9 is NOT there in the list?

    Next tried http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows\_7/uninstall-internet-explorer-9-beta-i-cannot-locate/17dfea10-0bff-4262-8aab-83fffd0de66f

    This seemed to uninstall some of the ie9 packages, but didn’t uninstall the program. I’ve tried re-installing ie9 but it tells me it’s already installed. Also I have no restore point, as I’m using Acronis, bu my last update was after the error occurred. Is there any fix or repair for this?

    Hmmm... Same problem.

    Windows 7 latest and greates update arrived today (11/Apr/2011).

    Latitude E6400

    Another good reason to stay with Firefox & Chrome...

    Another Microsoft problem... as if we are back to the Windows 95... Need to pray before each upgrade.
