Mite be a noob question if so i apologise, but....

I get "Internet Explorer could not be installed. Please take a look at the logs in your system directory."

(my xp is activated/validated)

Do a sytem resore, before you try to download againg. One restore is done, goto microsoft genuine advantage and validate windows. Close IE and then download IE7. Worked for me.

The problem with Live Mail is really getting annoying... I too would like them to fix the site, it's kind of stupid to have a MS browser (even though it's in beta), to not work with a MS website (also in beta). They're being developed at the same time, I would think they would make sure they work.

You have to be kidding me, IE7 still doesn't work with Outlook Web Access 2003.

works fine for me

What doesn't work? I've been usin Live Mail for awhile now, and all 3 versions of IE 7 that I've used, have worked with it, for me. Unless there's somethin missing I aint seeing, lol.

I'm sticking with my Deer Park nightly for now. IE still feels too cluttered, gimmicky and chunky. Until I can customise it to look like that below, I aint using it! I'm open though, and will keep testing builds as they come to see if it improves.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

IE7 seems ok to me, I like it. It won't replace Opera for me though.

hmmmm i saw some screenshots earlier and have beta2 just downloaded it from ms site but i do not see a magnifying glass at the bottom right just shows internet zone, ason?

Anyone else noticed that .url shortcuts no longer have an icon after installing this?

.. Or is it just me? :s

I have rebuild my icon cache btw.

Here are some general screens for people to see (fairly large images):

1 tab: Click Here

Multiple tabs: Click Here

Quick Tabs: Click Here

Favourites: Click Here

With Live Mail Beta: Click Here

Just a couple for people's general interest...

Jus checked and indeed mine is same!

Seems to run good on some and bad on others (a trademark of beta software). On one machine I installed it on (identical to another it ran fine on) it uses lots of processor when clicking links and loading the new pages. Even on neowin forum, just going to the next page of posts takes 30 seconds or more.

The lack of advanced tab functions is a show stopper for me. The tabbedbrowser extentions for firefox beat it by miles.

Is it possible to run IE7 and IE6 at the sametime ie can I run ie7 without installing over ie6 ?

Thanks

[liam-Kincaid]

Replying to someones comments on the first page. This is a PUBLIC preview and there is a download link right on Microsoft.com.

I can't wait to install it.

Mine is like that too, even was with the last Beta 2 release. I have been fixin the icon manually, lol.

Well from what I've noticed, only newly installed programs seem to not show the IE shortcut icon.

I hope you guys are not installing this unstable beta on your main work or home machines. It replaces IE6 so you are SOL if you installed it on your main work machine and are having trouble.

:rolleyes:

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

^ It isn't really unstable, there's a few rendering issues, but nothing more.

Plus you can rollback to IE6 easily ;)

lol!!! well it can be removed and Windows reverts back to IE 6, which in my opinion is the unstable browser.

I went back to IE6 on several machines with no problems.

Actually there is a way, and the method has been around for some time now. Below are the instructions (which were posted earlier in this thread, and easily found with a Google search) and a screen shot of it working.

* Extract IE7B2P-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe to a temporary folder.

* Working within' the extracted directory, delete the following:

o update\

o install.ins

o spmsg.dll

o spuninst.exe

o spupdsvc.exe

* Create a blank text file within' the directory and rename it to iexplore.exe.local.

* Move the directory to a location in which you want to store the now standalone version of Internet Explorer 7 Preview (eg. X\IE7 BETA2).

* Execute iexplore.exe.

It's a vista theme used in conjunction with Window Blinds. If you would like to know more, Lt Raven, please PM me :)
