Windows update Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2719857) would not install, so following MS advice for the error, I downloaded the required installer
ref (Windows6.1-KB947821-v24-x64) for the needed hotfix.
Installation supposedly commences but after several minutes no progress is shown on the bar. Is that normal for that hotfix, it being a large file perhaps, or am I doing something wrong?
