Internet Explorer 9 Won't Install On Windows 7
We have a newly deployed Windows 7 64 bit Dell machine. It is less than a month old and in very good shape.
We were having trouble with SilverLight and pop ups in IE9 so we removed it (via Add/Remove) and rebooted. IE8 was now installed. Perfect.
We have tried to reinstall IE9 via Windows Update or the stand alone installed (less than a 1MB) and get errors. When I do it via Windows Update, the update fails with the error 3715. When I do the stand alone installer, it seems to work fine and will go through installing and restarting programs and then I get the error is didn't complete sucessfully.
What can I do to clean up this system and get IE9 back on it? Or is it safe to stick with IE8 and be lazy?

Now, this begs the question: were you finally able to get SilverLight working in IE9?

Also run System File Checker. Open an admin command prompt and run SFC /SCANNOW and allow to complete. Restart. Run again if errors remained.
