Another uninstalling IE7 thread

[Mindriot]

I know i know, there are hundreds of threads similar, but this is a tougher nut to break...

I downloaded IE7 to test it. Then i tried getting BF2:EF from the EA downloader, and i get an error (IE7 is not supported yet). This means i need to revert back to IE6.

Here comes the tricky part: it does not have an entry in the add/remove programs list, even under updates, and i cannot do a manual uninstall as recommended here, the file is not there.

Can anyone help?

Which version of I.E. 7 do you have?

If it's the latest build 7.0.5335.0 and not build 7.0.5296.0 I would first try reinstalling it to see if it adds an entry in the add/remove program / update list.

Have you made sure that your system can see hidden system files before running the '$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst. exe'?

If that still doesn't work I'd manually look for the '$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst. exe' file to run it.

scroll down and ye shall find , and all will be good in the world of IE6

This is something you should expect when using BETA software.

I don't understand people who use beta software and complain about the bugs.. unless you're a developer, why are you using it?

 

[bledd]

its beta what do you expect!

they say not to install it on machines that you depend on etc, just format and be done with it

the only time i use IE, is through IETab in firefox, for windowsupdate, but i still wouldn't install a beta IE on my main pc, because IE's an integral part of explorer
