Free download sp2 for windows 7

I have done a clean install of Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32bit), on a clean disk.

1. WU fails to identify any update, regardless of how long it runs.
   1. After the 1st restart, WU shows 13 updates installed, evidently included on the install disk.
   2. WU reports that it has "never" checked nor updated. It doesn't report any error. Just runs on and on, getting nowhere.
2. I have set WU to "Download but let me decide what/when to install".  Never has downloaded anything.
3. I downloaded:
   
   1. WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x86 to replace the original.  It did install itself. Makes no difference. Endlessly searches for updates.

I've read all the advice about how to obtain the Update Rollup from the Microsoft Update Catalog, using IE.  I've separately updated to IE11. I've looked at the custom IE settings and found that they are already correctly set. 

When I try to obtain the Update Rollup, IE warns that the site wants to install a program.  I approve.  Seems to do that. Then when I proceed a message displays that that program will not run.  So I cannot obtain the Catalog item 3125574 that I need.

Meanwhile I have downloaded these two updates as separately recommended, to prepare for the Rollup:

1. Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x86
2. Windows6.1-KB3020369-x86

Neither one will install.  Each searches endlessly for "Updates installed on this machine."  Never finish searching, never find anything, no errors, no installation.

Pretty much a complete failure.

Any advice?

Thanks.

About how long should it take after launching the KB3125574 MSU before Windows Update starts telling me it's being processed? I have applied KB3020369 successfully, but when I launch KB3125574, Windows Update just says "Searching for updates on this computer" and the progress bar never moves. Is there something else I forgot to do?

Thanks in advance.

The installer can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to begin processing the update, but no more than that.

Watch the progress bar very closely and you can see it moving; if you're using an Aero glass theme, progress bars look very faint.

If you're sure that it's stuck, post back and we can work from there.
