Windows 7 validation

Question
-
Hello,
I've been having some problems with installing updates on my Windows laptop lately. To be precise, the following:
KB2731847
KB2647753
KB2729094
KB2732487
KB2732500
(KB2712808) <- managed to install this one manually today
Today I finally got around to addressing the problem, and after a lot of trial and error I succeeded in downloading one out of six updates manually from the microsoft download center. The update I tried after that gave me a incompatibility error or something similar. After that, I got stuck on having to validate my copy of Windows.
I get prompted to download 'GenuineCheck', which I did, ran it, but get the message that the version is outdated, gives no options as to updating it either.
From there I came to the webbrowser validation tool, which seemed to work fine, but had no effect on the download availability. Finally, I ended up on MGA Diag(?), which I ran, but after comparing my report with some of the other lost souls on this forum, I see none of the problems they were having pop up in my report. Not that I really know what I'm looking at.
So, here's the report, any way this might help in finally getting me those updates installed? Hope there's someone that can help! Thanks in advance

Are you usimg the 32-bit or 64-bit IE?
You have to use 32-bit IE.
If in doubt, go to useragentstring.com and copy/paste the found string in your reply.

You MUST use Internet Explorer when validating, or downloading validation-required updates.
That's all there is to it :)

...lol :)
I'll try that right away, hope it works. Either way, thanks a lot for your swift response!
EDIT
Sad to say, starting validation in IE prompts me to install the add-on 'Windows Genuine Advantage', I click install, followed by 'yes' in the UAC pop up, followed by Install on the final warning, after which... the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens. I restarted internet explorer a couple of times but keep getting the validation request followed by the install prompt...
On the same page an alternative method is listed, which simply leads back to 'GenuineCheck.exe', tried that again, but just gives the 'this version is outdated' feedback again. I have no clue what to do here, starting to feel like 1,5 MB worth of update shouldn't give me so much hassle :)
Also of note: the first update downloaded 'for free', just like it had done in chrome, but when I tried running it I was told that the update was not applicable to my system. So why does it keep showing up in my update panel? Is the prompt wrong? Is it because the other updates need to install first? The update number is KB2731847
Thanks again for your time

Please post an MGADiag report.
To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- **in your own thread**, pleasePlease also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

Concerning the COA sticker, it says Windows 7 Home Prem OA, if that's what you're referring to.

There's nothing wrong with your activation or validation status -
The ActivX control hasn't been installed, so let's try kick-staring it by going to
www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate using IE
see what happens.
If it fails, go to
www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag and see what it has to say.

Hi Noel,
I ran the ActiveX installer from the first site, which I believe installed
but said something about the update already being installed on my computer.
Anyway, to be sure I opened the second link and ran the diagnostic test, in which
all elements were tested as 'succesful' (the site was in dutch for me)
So all of that seems to be sorted, should this already have an effect
on installing the updates? I'll have another go to see if anything has changed
EDIT
The issue remains the same, I go to the download centre (in IE), where the ActiveX
component wants to run, I install it, but afterwards nothing happens to the current
page and returning to the specific download just restarts the activation request.

My word. That actually seems to have done it. I was using
IEx64 on purpose, thinking it might make a difference.
Now the validation process finally took hold and I was able to
download all the updates.
What's more, I was able to install all of them, seems like there was
some mistake on my part there, a few of the updates had a slew of
files associated with them when searching the download center, and the
win 7 x64 updates would get buried a bit down the list, I was simply downloading
the Win 7 updates, the one time I was able to download it. Which made the installation
impossible.
I do feel like the 'must use IE' and 'must use IE 32bit' information should be a lot
more apparent, or am I really that blind? Is it mentioned on the update site at all?
Anyway, I'm about to do a reboot, fingers crossed that all the installed updates will
now configure properly. Assuming they do, that's the last you'll hear of me.
Thanks a lot for the great help in getting this fixed!
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 12:15 AM -
I totally agree - but it only seems to have been a problem this past two weeks, possibly because of the massive changes going on in the site in preparation for the Windows 8 launch. Hopefully they'll get around to sorting it out sooner rather than later :)

Good to know that it's not just standard procedure, a quick update on my part:
All the updates managed to install! After almost two months that feels strangely satisfying.
However, things still did not go without a hitch, installing them simultaneously had the
same effect as when I had tried it through the Windows Update service. I had to install all
the updates one by one, with restarts in between. (Through Windows Update that didn't work either
so there's definitely a difference). Some updates didn't work until others
were installed, but there was no way of telling which (not from the order in which Windows Update
presented them for instance).
Anyway, resolved, I'll mark the IE 32 bit as the answer but do feel like people might still run into
a few walls after that :)
Thanks again Noel, have a good day
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 8:26 AM -
That seems also to be a common problem lately - particularly with one set of updates.
It's not happened to me, or indeed to most people, so that makes me think that there's something interfering (possibly an anti-virus, or a setting) in the affected computers.
At least you're now up to date ;)
Good luck - and thanks for the feedback
