IE 5 Update

[mdrandall]

I have tried to use windows update to install the latest mods to IE5. After downloading the installastion starts and gets to approx 84% and then hangs. I have left it running for 2 hours and it never completes. I can however cancel and get the clean up routine OK - this takes about 30 minutes. Next time I reboot I get a dialogue box asking if I want to resume setup and the same thing happens. Anybody seen this with IE5 installation (also tried the IE6 beta update and it did the same thing) ?????

yes, i have seen this.....

i got this when I tried the updates; i dont know if it was because i had selected too many things to update (!) but .....

in the end i got a magazine cdrom with it on and installed from there.

That's what I do too. Don't waste your time and money to download it from the web.

I had a problem similiar when D/L updates from MS. Made sure my virus protect was disabled and screen saver off and no problems after that. I am now using the downloaded beta IE 6.00 and having no problems with it. A few nice perks in 6.00 browser. Use Win ME. It is a bit of a pain rebooting after each update download. I tried not rebootig between succesive downloads and compuer locked up a couple times so now I just go ahead and do the reboot when instructed and make sure my TEMP folder (which I keep shortcut to on desktop for easy flushing) is cleaned out of temp install files.

You could try the Windows Update Corporate site (http://corporate.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp) and download the full version instead of the partial online setup files
