Bottom line: it's not a Windows 7 issue. It's a Windows 7 issue on Ron's machine, which has Windows update not operating properly. That is a huge difference. I would be more concerned about other issues, like security.

I am far from the only one experiencing this problem. And, yes, I could upgrade to Windows 10--or I can wait for MM to come up with a solution. In any case, I have lost about a week of work and am not anxious to spend more time on computer-related problems right now.

Yes, it is apparently related to the Windows update application. It is broken on many Windows 7 machines. As I pointed out earlier, I have not had any Windows updates run to completion in several months. They all hang. MM's support team have identified the problem and are trying to find a workaround.
(They have also admitted that deleting the old version of Finale before the new one is successfully installed was not, perhaps, the wisest approach.)

I though I had already discussed that. It will involve having to reinstall hundred of Windows updates (not to mention the--often--painful rebuild of all my other applications) with no guarantee that I will not run into the same problem.
Yes, you might have to reinstall programs, but as I recall, there are options to keep certain installations. And, as I said, an up-to-date ISO file will eliminate the need to reinstall updates from the beginning, although there will be some you'll have to reinstall. That should go smoothly with a repaired Windows Update. It worked this way for me in Windows 7 when my Windows Update broke.
