Strange, seems you have the installer with corrupted metadata. 0.9 was quite old version, however should be compatible with all 1.x qgis releases.
Do you have a "plugin_installer" directory in your home directory\\.qgis\\python\\plugins ? If so, just remove it and it should help. Qgis 1.7 comes with plugin installer 1.2.1 placed inside of te Osgeo4W directory.
Anyway, I don't know why qgis finds the 0.9 incompatible with 1.7

Thank you, removing the plugin_installer directory solves the problem.

Additional info: I had a previous qgis installed (1.4). I un-installed 1.4 before installing 1.7, it seems the plugin_installer was not removed duing the uninstall.

It's normal. Plugins installed by user (including plugin_installer updates) are not removed. If someone else reports such problem, I'll investigate why qgis finds it incompatible.
