I had an issue with a Windows 2003 server today with these errors in sequence.
Followed by another 4 or 5 including references to ordinal 672 and IEDKCS32.DLL.
It appears to be related to a failed install of IE8 and because there is no browser Windows update will not run.
My remedy was to download IE8 installer for Windows 2003 server.
You might need to use another version from Microsoft Downloads.
I ran this installer which then indicated that it was updating IE8 rather than installing IE8 and a reboot was required.
After this Windows update will run but there are no icons for IE to click on, so I added IE8 shortcuts “C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe” to the desktop and all was working.
I’ll give this a try. IE is dropping left and right on various platforms since yesterday here… 🙁
PS. How to do this on a Windows 7 machine? There doesn’t seem to be any IE8 download available on the M$ site…
