Update to IE 10 Attempt Gives Error 9c59

I already tried to download and run a standalone installation file. It failed as well. But I'll try your link anyway. Thanks.

"A Guy": I've looked at some of the material pertaining to required upgrades and they're all here. As for hardware, it shto ould be compliant. This is one of two Inspiron 1545s in my household; the other one upgraded routinely. I've just gotten my hands on this one after it's user upgraded to a Win 8 system. I know from reviewing Event Viewer and Windows Update logs that it's had past issues with NTFS and .NET Framework 4 updates, but they appear to hve been resolved. I was able to install and update the .NET Framework version 4.5 with no problem. One thing I'm tempted to try is to replace its existing antivirus (McAfee Enterprise) with something more benign. I've already tried disabling it, both through its own controls and through msconfig, to no avail.

Looking at A Guy's links made me locate and upload this log file related to IE10. Maybe the error messages it contains provide new information?

Here is a list of what I have tried:

• To answer A Guy's question, SP1 is installed.
• I have downloaded and attempted to insttingall using the offline installer. I even did this from the command line using the command from the "knack" link from post #12.
• I used msconfig to disable non-Microsoft services and registry items in HKLM\...\run.

I can only think of two other things to try: using msconfig's clean boot option instead of disabling things manually and extracting the standalone installer to somewhere other than \%windowsdir%\temp. For the latter, I believe I need to study dism.exe, of which I'd had no need before.
