Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 - Problems

I have a PC desktop (HP Compaq 500B MT), running Windows 7 Professional. The system is completely up to date and running well. However when I try to install Internet Explorer 9 the installation stops half way with the message: "did not finalize installation'. (see attachment) I have gone through all the information; KB2399238, KB 2454826, KB2409098. I have downloaded the program from different sites. I have tried to install normally and as administrator. I have contacted the local MS Office, who haven't come across this problem. I have rebooted several times. I have not uninstalled I.E.8.
Does anyone have any suggestion??
Tony

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the Event Viewer. There is nothing there.
Tony

I did as you suggested but could find nothing relevant.

I tried again and found the following which is only gibberish to me.

Any suggestions?

Hi:
You shouldn't have any previous release of internet explorer in your PC, for example Internet Explorer 9.0 RC/Internet Explorer 9.0 Beta or ...
so if you have any of this versions you should uninstall it.
For doing that go to -> Start -> Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Installed Updates -> Right Click on Internet Explorer 9 -> choose Uninstall.
Now do a clean and fresh install of IE9.
Hope it helped.

Hi again
I checked and I have no previous IE 9. Nor do I have SP 1. I found the following from Microsoft:-

"How to get SP1
The recommended (and easiest) way to get SP1 is to turn on automatic updating in Windows Update in Control Panel, and wait for Windows 7 to notify you that SP1 is ready to install. It takes about 30 minutes to install, and you'll need to restart your computer about halfway through the installation."

I guess I netter just wait.
Thanks for all your trouble.
Tony

Many thanks to everyone. Success at last. I followed Capt. Jack Sparrows advice and downloaded and followed - in detail - The trouble shoot list. The SFC /sannow did find some corrupted files, so I downloaded and ran KB947821. I reran the install file and, lo and behold, it succeeded.
Once again many thanks
Sincerely
Tony
