Error on update.php using IE7

[reporter]

With IE7, whenever i do an update, it gives me the following error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://xxx/update.php

Operation aborted.

However, the update is made.

It works fine in Mozilla Firefox and IE6. But not on IE7

Cannot duplicate.

WinXP, IE7, current SVN tip (1654).

Earlier releases were having trouble with IE6 in my case.

For the reporter, would also be helpful if you reported what theme is being used.

Recommend moving this from critical as this is cosmetic, and not a crasher nor impacting overall functionality.

I'm more than eager to resolve this as WFM as soon as I can test it out myself (for the records, my VirtualPC XP install somehow doesn't want me to upgrade to IE7, I wonder why)
