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.

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.

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...

what theme are u using or is it Vista?

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.

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.

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:

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.

no its not i wish people would stop asking. Its been said been reported before that you cant :no:

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.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
