Windows XP - IE7 in Microsoft/Windows Update - No Longer There

We are finishing up the setup of two new Acer laptops, and seemingly IE 7 is not available via Microsoft Update. At least, it did not show up when searching for updates on the machines via the Microsoft Update Web Site.

It can be downloaded from here: Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2.

If it doesn't appear on M/W Update again, then it looks like this is one for the Technician's Thumb Drive for sure!

It would be good to store it on the workbench network too.

UPDATE 2007-10-23: The IE7 for XP update has shown up again on Microsoft/Windows Update. It still requires us to run through the setup steps as before but without the validation component.

Thanks to Andy (comments section) for the initial heads up.

Andy,

I must have missed it?

When we use our M/W Update we always use the Custom option so we can get the optional updates too.

I will watch for it again.
