Is the SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) 2007 setup program having trouble downloading updates? There is a workaround!

Doug Miller pointed out an issue that he had installing SCCM this weekend and more people are running into the problem as time goes on.

There seems to be an issue with the RTM build of SCCM 2007 that sometimes, depending on your proxy settings in IE, will fail during setup on the download of the updates. Currently this is around 87 files overall. The files will download correctly, but the setup program will be convinced that the download failed.

The workaround is to set Automatically detect a proxy server for Internet Explorer even if you are not using a proxy. I am curious if this is due to interaction with winhttp and how the setup program attempts to download files. It is actually a bit surprising something like this was not caught before RTM.

Originally spotted here, here and here.

Update
The binaries available from Microsoft have been updated to fix this issue. You can read more about that announcement here.
