  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method is listed, which simply leads back to 'GenuineCheck.exe', tried that again, but just gives the 'this version is outdated' feedback again.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

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

  Thanks!

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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

  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
