I have a WS2008 R2 DC virtual machine with IE 9.0.8112.16421 x64 w/ KB982861 and every other update already installed. Yet Windows Update keeps presenting IE 9 as a needed update. If I select it, it fails with a 9C48 error. I have an identical installation without the issue. Suggestions? TIA, Marc

Hi, Please try to uninstall IE9 and than reinstall again from Windows Update. Regards, Liran.

Hello, Please proceed like that: Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r /f Reset Windows Update components Download and install system update readiness tool for your OS Disable all security softwares Once done, try installing again. If this does not help, download and install manually the update. If the problem persists then perform an in-place upgrade of your OS.

T4R. I have already went down this path to the extend of trying to remove IE9 and doing another install, but I can't fully remove it. IE8 doesn't appear to be installed.

T4R. All of the recommendations of the first link have already been applied. No luck. I am not sure why the second link would apply. All other updates have been applied.

Liran, T4R. I've tried all of the above except the last suggestion. I understand the concept of an in-place upgrade, but not in this context since there is nothing to upgrade to. Can you elaborate? Marc

Marius, T4R. That KB didn't help. But thanks again.

The problem is that the installed version of IE9 is the same as the update. Does anyone know how to adjust Windows Update so it doesn't want to try to update it? From the IE9_main.log: 00:00.141: Started: 2011/12/20 (Y/M/D) 17:55:59.882 (local) 00:00.187: Time Format in this log: MM:ss.mmm (minutes:seconds.milliseconds) 00:00.234: Command line: "Z:\Downloads\Microsoft\IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe" 00:00.312: INFO: Setup installer for Internet Explorer: 9.0.8112.16421 00:00.375: INFO: Previous version of Internet Explorer: 9.0.8112.16421 00:00.437: INFO: Checking if iexplore.exe's current version is between 9.0.6001.0... 00:00.594: INFO: ...and 9.1.0.0... 00:00.656: INFO: Maximum version on which to run IEAK branding is: 9.1.0.0... 00:00.703: ERROR: A newer version of Internet Explorer is already installed on the system. 00:00.734: ERROR: Internet Explorer version check failed. 00:04.641: INFO: Setup exit code: 0x00009C48 (40008) - A more recent version of Internet Explorer is installed. 00:04.703: INFO: Cleaning up temporary files in: C:\Windows\TEMP\IE9BA69.tmp 00:04.734: INFO: Unable to remove directory C:\Windows\TEMP\IE9BA69.tmp, marking for deletion on reboot. 00:04.828: INFO: Released Internet Explorer Installer Mutex

First, T4R. Tried your suggest without success. However found the problem in the IE9_main.log. See my last entry. Marc

Where is the IE9_main.log located. I did a quick search on my PC but couldn't locate it. Thanks.

It should be in C:\Windows
