Board index » Internet Explorer » IE7 Will not install

Internet Explorer42
I've tried many times to run the ie7 installer and it keeps failing every

single time.



This is the log file www.paste.uni.cc/16447



The only thing I can spot is lines 34-36 in that paste



Anyone else ever had this problem?

Any ideas how to get around it?

This is WinXP SP2

Greetings Moises:



Follow these instructions exactly to install IE 7 on Windows XP:

It's best to download the IE 7 installer directly from Microsoft's web site:

www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx" >www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx



and install from your hard drive.

not Automatic/Windows Update.]

You might also try installing by using Safe Mode with Networking.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and quit trying to install it. IE7 is the

biggest piece of shit that MS has ever released. Im waiting to install

Vista until I get instructions on how to 'downgrade' to IE6 with it.
