Thank you. The way I was able to get around the issue is by going to the Services and Stopping the Windows Update service. Then, when applying the KB patch, Windows goes right into updating, without checking updates on my computer.

>>Is there a way to install a KB from within Windows 7 Prof? I have to install this patch (so that I can install a customer's VPN Client). But when I go to MS web site and select this KB, the computer hangs, looking for all updates on my PC. I thought that maybe there is another way to install this KB.

>>Update: More specifically on what happens when I say "computer hangs" is:
>>A window with caption "Windows Update Standalone Installer" say "Searching for updates on this computer ..." but it goes on indefinitely.
