Re: Removing IE7/Restoring IE6

Hi barrowhill :-)

Well...now that you appear to have IE7 uninstalled, go ahead and run the fix
I told you not to run until you had deleted IE7. Go here
Enable Reinstallation of Internet Explorer or OE
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (line 114, one the right
side)

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

NOTE: For SP2 -
If you have SP2, you will first have to uninstall it. Then run the utility
as descripbed above.
Ieinstall.reg simply makes the registry edit that's called for in the 2nd
half of
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=318378

Then visit the Windows Update to let it scan for any necessary updates.

Hope this helps.

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.

uninstalled. As indicated on "other" post, Ie7 installed and

get
reid
of. I found following file in C:\windows directory;
$Ntuninstallie7bet2p$,

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

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.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/ieinstall.reg


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.

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.
