I have spent over an hour on the Microsoft website, the download center and other locations trying to download the 1.9GB iso image for Windows 7 SP1. I get to the page where it is listed and when I click on continue, it dumps me back to the start.

I am trying to update several PC's that do not yet have SP1 and do not have an internet connection. It doesn't even tell me where to order the darn DVD!

    I sincerely hope it is not a Genuine Advantage issue as the install on this laptop and the main desktop were upgrades downloaded from the Microsoft Store. In additon when running the validation, no error messages were received. I don't know how it could possibly be a Group Policy issues since these are home machines (Win 7 HP 64bit) and have never had anything like that set up.

    Interestingly enough, I decided to try it one last time - even though I no long need it (got it another way, and finally after all this times, the download started. But it was the separate x65 and x86 downloads, not the ISO to burn the DVD. The only change I have made to this machine is that when I opened IE8, and received the normal message (do you want to make IE the default?) I did opt to make IE8 the default browser. I had been using IE8 on this machine and IE9 on my desktop, they were just not the default. I also volunteered to do the survey at the end of this session.

    Interesting. But as I pointed out, I was able to get it by entering the full file name for the ISO file and was able to download it.

    That just puts me on the same circular path as before. It has a list of Windows 7 SP1 options with a "continue" button next to the SP1 iso image. However, when I click on the button instead of taking me to a window for the download option, it takes me to the "Download Center" which looks as if it is written for a grade school student with huge buttons and they just take me in circles.

    Again, I am on a machine that is running Win 7 SP1, but I have a couple of machines that I am going to have to update. Do I actually have to reinstall Win7 (pre SP1) on one of them before I can gain access to the ISO or downloads.

    I have never had this much trouble with a MS download before, especially when I start with the KB number. It has gone beyond ridiculous now.

    Which web browser are you trying to download the ISO with ?

    My Win 7 system  already has SP1 applied.

    Using Internet Explorer,  the page from the link that SpiritX posted shows the ISO is listed as 7601.17514.101119-1850_Update_Sp_Wave1-GRMSP1.1_DVD.iso

    Clicking the Continue button to Validate the system then shows a page with a list of available

    files to download, one of them being the above mentioned ISO.

    When you get to the Download center and press continue for validation do you select download next to

    windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe    or

    windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe
