Extract and "update.exe /quiet /passive"

(Update.exe is in the update folder)

Faster way to install and well.. if you want to slip it in your windows disk (god who would) it wont prompt or do any verification... just installs.

no need to extract use the installer (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe) with /passive it will install without asking WGA

IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /Passive

or use this batch file in the same folder as IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe

i believe the acid test will apear exactly the same in 7 as it did with 6, i cant now check cos ive uninstalled 7, bad is an understatment, was hoping it would be more compliant but it isnt. i ran many of the selector test on the w3c site and non had been added. according to the technical specification document it makes no mention of additions to html or css (just the 2 bug fixes guillotine and peekaboo)

Same problem... tried all those and it still doesn't work. For some reason WGA reckons I've been a victim of piracy... I'd say I've been a victim of an over-enthusiastic anti-piracy program!

This is how to do it:

Extract IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe with WinRAR (or anything that works) to a temporary directory. 
Open update\iecustom.dll in a hex editor. 
Navigate to hexadecimal offset 0x1034h(4148 decimal) and change 0F 95 to 0F 94. 
Save and execute update.exe. 

Enjoy.

Edit: This works perfect.

Can someone tell me where to get update.exe or where do I find it on my computer (/WINDOWS ?). And where do I find/get iecustom.dll ?

Thank you.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
