I spent hours last night trying to download the new IE 7. It would download
allright but when it got to the part of "Installing Updates" it would never
finish. It literally ran all night and never did complete the download. How
do I do it properly. It seems pretty straight forward. Thanks James

I think you might have to disable your AV program....

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.
