D2007 December Update - Does it actually work?!

I have tried to apply the December update a few times, but to no avail so far. For information, I run Vista Ultimate x64.

To check for updates using the "Check for Updates" menu yields a message telling me that no update is available. I have checked my version of D2007 and it reads 11.0.2804.9245, which I understand qualifies for the December update.

Since I cannot update the 'normal' way, I thought I would do it the old way, i.e. download the update from the CG website (http://www.codegear.com/downloads/regusers/delphi). Once downloaded, I tried to run the program and like other Vista users (and as mentioned at the above link), things take for ever, in particular the "Validating install" step.

This being said, I would be OK with it, if it was to work, but as it happens it doesn't. Indeed, I eventually get a message that tells me that C:\PROGRA~3\{6AF0E~1\iwwin32\9EFD72AE\5EE1BFAC\FishMarket.err cannot be found (?!). If I try to ignore that file, then another one cannot be found, etc.

Very frustrating indeed!
