Internet Explorer 7 install error

One of my coworkers computers will not install IE7 via windows updates. The
program downloads fine and starts going through the installation process,
however halfway through, the install stops and the update site says that the
installation failed. Reviewing update history yields error code 0x3F5 and I
wasn't able to find anything with this error code via microsoft.com. I was
wondering if anyone has heard anything like this and if so how to fix the
issue. Thanks in advance.

Required reading before installing IE7...

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx as the installation source,
not Automatic/Windows Update.]
