As part of my standard troubleshooting for a user's issue with a webapp, I uninstalled their version of IE9 x64 by locating the original update in Windows Updates. Now I can't seem to find an installer that will work to get the program back.
The option to select it in Windows Features has disappeared as well since I uninstalled it.
Microsoft only gives you the option to download it for Vista or Server 2008 for development purposes. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-9-details.aspx
Any other 3rd-party link I've found looks like something that would be loaded with malware.
Our office requires use of IE9 for compatibility purposes with our corporate webapps.

I'm not sure whether to downvote this for not already having an accessible copy of a vital app in-house, or for not having updated the corporate apps to at least IE 11 for security reasons. – Tetsujin – 2015-08-26T16:34:38.407
I don't know why their apps need IE9 or why they haven't upgraded but I'm not really one to argue with a multi-billion dollar corporation. – Jacob K – 2015-08-26T16:36:57.147
It looks to me, though I may very, very well be mistaken, that IE9 is no longer supported on Windows 7, only IE11: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/gp/microsoft-internet-explorer

@ChrisInEdmonton, I'm running IE9 on my Windows 7 machine right now. screenshot

– Leptonator – 2015-08-26T16:43:06.317internet explorer 9 downloadand I selected: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-9-details.aspx Click Next.. Select: "Windows Internet Explorer 9 for IT Professionals and Developers--Windows Vista 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 2008 64-bit Edition".. I would ignore the bit about Vista and download anyway..@Leptonator already tried that. Received an error stating that it was the wrong version. – Jacob K – 2015-08-26T16:44:05.610
1@JacobK That is weird - you are right. I am going to probably get my hand slapped, but you could use the link from FileHippo. I agree that Microsoft should have it available on their site. – Leptonator – 2015-08-26T16:48:25.773
