MacOS – Can’t upgrade to 10.7.2 over a previous iCloud beta seed

icloudmacossoftware-update

I never got the 10.7.2 update, as you can see here:

installed software updates

But my system thinks it's running 10.7.2:

Running Software Update tells me there are no available updates, but 10.7.2 clearly isn't fully installed because I have no iCloud PrefPane:

preference panes--no iCloud

I've tried installing both the 10.7.2 client and client combo from Apple's support downloads site, but when I try to run them, I get an error saying it can't be installed:

installer error

Is there a way to force Software Update to pull down the update? Or perhaps I could download the one it already installed? I don't think it's actually running 10.7.2, as I also don't have Safari 5.1.1:

While i haven't seen this problem with Lion, it was common with previous versions of OS X. The way to fix it was to download the Combo updater from Apple, and run the update. Apple provides this for Lion at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459, so i'd download that first, run it, and see if it fixes your problem.
