Re: Removing IE7/Restoring IE6



Hi barrowhill :-)

Here are the manual steps for the fix:

First, go to Start>Run>type in regedit and hit enter
Click on File on the toolbar and click Export to back up your Registry.
Make sure you make a not of where it is saved in case you need to restore
it.

Then in the left panel go to:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components
Scroll down to {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
Click on it to view the contents
In the right side of the panel you should see IsInstalled. Double click on
that and when the box opens there will be a window in with a 1 in it.
Change that to 0 and click ok.

Then try reinstalling IE again.

Hope this helps.

Kelly's site has a fix which changes the IsInstalled flag value to 0. =
This enables reinstallation of IE.

Just download and double-click, then proceed to reinstal IE.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is right forum but I decided to download and try
IE7
beta 2 on XP test machine. Installed, I thought Ok, but get error
message
connecting to Internet - Procedure entry point failure. Decided to
revert
to
IE6. Couldn't find in Add/Remove though every article assured I would.
So,
decide to repair of XP. Fine no problem. Followed KB 318378 and tried
to
reinstall IE6. Says internet Tools not the correct files for OS and
newer
version already insatalled so set up can't continue.

How do I get back to IE6 and get rid of IE7????? Have Opera and
Firefox
on
PC so access to internet not a problem.
