    Angry Installer problems, automatic updates and more

    Have had trouble since July, can't install Automatic Updates. Tried turning off anti-virus, set Service to Automatic instead of Manual, have done multiple registry scan/repairs thru various programs. Saw a suggestion somewhere that I'd have to uninstall Office 2003 and re-install. So that's where I am now - it's uninstalled, but I can't re-install it!

    Details:
    XP
    Office 2003 (from CD)
    Error 2932. An internal error has occurred.
    (C:\Windows\Installer\{91110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}\graph.ico
    ...followed by maybe 3 spaces, then the number 131 then a bunch of spaces, then the final closed parentheses.

    If you did a clean install of Win7 last month, you'll do another clean install of Win7. IOW you don't need to install Vista first.

    Since you'll be doing a clean install of Win7, there won't be any free-trialware so just need to take care of EVERYTHING on the following page BEFORE otherwise connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e., other computers) AND BEFORE connecting a flash drive, SDCard, or any other external drive to the computer:

    In short:

    1. Format the HDD then do the clean install of Win7.

    2. IMMEDIATELY install Microsoft Security Essentials.

    3. IMMEDIATELY run a manual check for updates & install all critical security updates offered per...

    4. Leave Automatic Updating enabled but you might wanna change your setting from Automatic to Download updates but let me choose... That way, no updates will install without your Approval; assume an update will require a reboot so don't Approve the install unless & until you're willing to reboot.
