How a good day starts. (Also: Browsers).

 
Day of installations and upgrades, today.

First, Firefox 2.0. Great. Few seconds and puf! Installed. Second, IE 7. Well, still installing. In fact:

  1. The (automatic upgrade) first installation crashes. No way to recover.
  2. So I decide to go with a manual installation; I open my Firefox (IE no longer works) and I start;
  3. I have to go through a WGA Plugin installation, first;
  4. Then through a "Genuine Windows Validation";
  5. Follows a generation of the validation code;
  6. Once I validate my system, I start the download;
  7. I install IE for the second time (and it validates the system again).

It's now 15 minutes installing core components. Let's see. How a good day starts.

  • Update: after 45 min still crashes. I will switch back to the old version. If I will be able to find it.
  • 2nd Update. It's 4pm and I'm still struggling with the damned IE7. 
  • 3rd update. It's 5pm now. I found a great turnaround to switch back to a standalone version of IE6. Thanks to tech-recipes.
