Hi
This is my first I've tried to install Windows 2008 R2 via VM Player. The installation goes fine and boots up.I installed standard version from the MSDN download Iso en_windows_server_2008_r2_standard_enterprise_datacenter_and_web_with_sp1_debug_checked_build_x64_dvd_619600.iso
However, when I attampt to run Windows Update, the update program always responds with 'Windows is up to date'.
The browser is running IE 8, but when trying to access the internet, it gets a pop up error saying there is a problem would you like to skip.
I have tried switching of the enhanced Internet security, firewallls on the host, but no updates have been identified, downloaded or installed.
I have also tried installing IE10, but this stopped with an issue, because a number of Windows Updates are required. Classic catch 22.
Any help greatly appreciated, since this is my 3rd attempt and all have failed,
Cheers
Graham
