2. Enable Automatic Updates and install all post-SP2 critical updates.
3. Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:
Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.
Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

If you are attempting to install SP2 from either of the Update sites and
it will not install then use the Methods listed on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144
If it still will not install, suggest you download the entire package or
order it on CD and pay the shipping cost only:
