I cannot install certain windows updates and IE9
Hello,
My problem is that my current install of Windows 7 Professional 64bit (SP1) is partially corrupted. I cannot install certain windows updates and IE9, I have already done days of searching for answers with the errors I'm getting but it appears the only solution is to simply repair install or clean install.
When I originally attempted the repair install (following the guide on this forum) I ran into the exact same problem as the first poster,
--------------
Your current version of Windows is more recent than the version you are trying to upgrade to. Windows cannot complete the upgrade.
--------------
I have followed what was said in this thread, by slipstreaming SP1 into a new Windows 7 Pro disc which the process was successful, I now have a new DVD of Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1. Unfortunately when I tried this new disc, I ran into the "exact" same error! apparently this version of Windows is newer than my slipstreamed SP1 disc!
I have completely ran out of ideas now, at the moment it looks like ill have no choice but to do a clean install which I have of course been avoiding. I really hope someone here can give me some advice to solve my problem of trying to do a repair install with this error message.
Thanks,
Greyze
