All apps closed except explorer and systray. Emptied Windows\Temp and
Temporary Internet Files (less cookies). All other Windows updates already
installed.


Following Windows Update exclusive item install attempt, I get...

1. Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all
applications and try running setup again.

(click ok)

2. You must restart computer to complete installation

(click ok - reboot)

3. Desktop popup: Resume windows setup - Choice: Resume or From Beginning

(try either way)

4. Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all
applications and try running setup again.

Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View:
- Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK

Create a folder named "Old uninstall".

Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information.

Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

You will now be able to install all the troublesome components.

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder
and the files you moved.

Good luck,

Zee
