Jan,

Thanks for reply. Followed linked and performed actions.......Restarted

removed
IE7 (c:\windows\$Ntuninstallie7bet2p$ folder (and hence contents) no
longer
there, I decided to re-install IE6 from CD....here we go again!! IE and
tools files incorrect for OS, need to download and says have newer version
of
IE installed. Now what version is this ????

No...do not open a new post. Continue to stay with this thread as it is
best to keep all the prior information and what has, and has not, been
done
or advised to avoid repetition, or confusion.

Try the workaround in the information here and see if it will help with
the
msfeeds.dll error:

Don,

Thanks for reply. I've done as suggested. Value Name and Value data
set
and confirmed . We are getting there. Initially RUNDLL error window
stating:

Error loading C:\windpws\system32\msfeeds.dll.
The specified procedure could not be found.

Clicking OK (?), file deletion continued and ended up with window
stating
that IE7 successfully removed - Thankyou very much. Rebooted
successfully,
clicked desktop IE icon and connected to internet. Great!!

Went to Windows Update site (had earlier done a repair install) .
Advised
that I needed to upgrade some of the components to use the latest
version
of
windows update. Unhappily in failed to successfully install Windows
Installer 3.1 so can't progress further. Should I open new request for
this
problem????

Hi,
Regarding:
"can't be unistalled from this user account" >
From Sandi H. Posted to internetexplorer.general...

Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
Right
click on Internet Explorer and select New String Value. Name that
value
InstalledByUser. The value of the new String should be your User
account
name.

You should backup the registry or create a Restore Point first. Let us
know
if you need help with the registry edit.

Jan,

Thanks. I've saved file on desktop. Not run as note need to have
IE7
uninstalled. As indicated on "other" post, Ie7 installed and can't
get
reid
of. I found following file in C:\windows directory;
$Ntuninstallie7bet2p$,
when I choose to view hidden files and folders. I went to spuninst
folder
and tried to run spuninst.exe. I get error window saying it can't
be
unistalled from this user account (?) I need to log onto account
which
was
used to install it. Now I'm puzzled!! I'm the only user and their
are
no
other accounts !!!!

If you don't want to try the Registry youself, this link should
work
now
for
the link to Kelly's website to download the fix. However, this is
only
if
you have already uninstalled the IE7 and are trying to reinstall
IE6.

Thanks for prompt response. Unformtunately link gives page not
found
message (?) I've gone to kelly's corner but location of "fix"
not
easily
found. Could you repost link.

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


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.
