IE7 Not Appearing In Windows Update

Has Microsoft removed IE7 from Windows Update?

I have had to do a complete re-installation of Windows XP Home following a
system crash. Everything has gone fine and I have updated Windows using
Windows Update (over 100 updates).

Previously I was using IE7, however IE7 has not appeared as an available
update in Windows Update and so I am still using IE6.

About shows:-
Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Product ID: 55277-OEM-0016194-98194
Update version:; SP2;

So how do I update to IE7?

Try from here

Good luck

Yes, since October 5th or so. Although until now there hasn't been
any statement by MS (I'm aware of) on the reason for doing so, it
*may* be related to the URI handling change in IE7 which opens a
potential security hole (running in Windows XP and Server 2003).
MS is working on an update to fix that hole, see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...ry/943521.mspx and
http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archiv...ry-943521.aspx

Until this update is released by MS, I would recommend to *NOT*
install IE7 on Windows XP/2003 anyway.

Bye,
Freudi

Thanks for all your replies which I found very helpful.

Cheers

You are welcome PinguJohn.

Yup, it returned. Do you like conspiracy theories combined with megalomania?

IE7 via AU/MU/WU at least until the URI update has been released"di
