Can't Install IE 10 on brand new Windows 7
I bought a new Alienware and they won't provide support for Windows Update (why should they, really). I go and try to run the IE 10 update like so:
And, it hangs a bit on the screen above. Then, it shows this error:
How can I install IE 10? I already tried installing it directly, but that doesn't work either?
Thanks for your help.

I had the exact same error. 6 hours later I'm finally able to install IE 10. It turns out there are some corrupt downloaded packages and IE 10 cannot install. pkgmgr.exe is a utility to manage these packages.
This is what you need to do. (not documented anywhere of course) Run a DOS COMMAND window (CMD) as admin and type the following commands:
pkgmgr /UP:Microsoft-Windows-IE-Hyphenation-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437
pkgmgr /UP:Microsoft-Windows-IE-Spelling-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437
And you're going to run this on any version you find lower than the one you're trying to install (from what I see "10.2.9200.16437") and that you find here C:\Windows\servicing\Packages. These are the files that are mainly causing the issue. For example:
pkgmgr /UP:pkgmgr /up:Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7601.17514
You would replace 8.0.7601.17514 with whatever file names you find on the packages folder I mentioned above.
I followed Jose Ortiz's instructions and successfully got rid of IE10 upgrade failure code 9c59, however, one correction to Jose's instructions, not only I had to pkgmgr /UP: on the lower versions of Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~* in C:\Windows\servicing\Packages but also higher version 10 ones as well. then the IE10 upgrade becomes successful
also one side effect to share, once I uninstalled the the lower versions of Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~, I was asked to restart the system, after that my IE9 dropped down to IE8. then I decided to remove the higher versions of Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~ as well, try IE10 installation one more time then it's successful
