and after restarting you should integrate IE9 once again, this time without any updates. got ya, I'm going to copy a fresh folder with the vista iso in it and start over. Let me get this straight, first import all the newest hotfixes from wsus AND add IE9-vista.msu, if I get an error just continue, then reboot. Run vite again this time without the added hotfixes but put IE9-vista.msu in again.
