I am working on a machine for a friend.
Her Internet Explorer version 8 is stuck at Version: 8.0.6001.18813...
[ I found a post from 2009 that has the identical signature ]
The problem is that Windows Update finds updates and then decides that
a newer version [ of IE 8 ] is already installed....
That is utter nonsense.
There is no way to go back to do a Restore of the system to before this problem reared its ugly head. [ Too far back ].
What OTHER solution is there? For instance could I "force install IE 9 RC" ???
A regular attempt to put on IE9RC failed...
As an aside the error code that shows up is "Code E"
It also happens on a .NET 1.1 SP update.
Two other updates install OK, but are again flagged as necessary on the next Windows Update attempt....
All of this seems a catch 22 situation.
Thanx in advance for any help,
