Jan,

Thanks for reply. Followed linked and performed actions.......Restarted
PC,
connected update site but still can't install installer v3.1. Having
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 ????

Hi barrowhill

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,

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.

Hi barrowhill

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.

:
Kelly's site has a fix which changes the IsInstalled flag value
to
0.
=
This enables reinstallation of IE.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/reg...s/ieinstall.reg

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

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

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.

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.

IE Help > About: What version of IE is shown here?

 

[Guest]

Jan,

I was loathe to try it as if I tried to install IE6 from CD or from
download site always said newer version installed. IE/Help showed IE6 ....I
also felt that even if this was reporting incorrectly the fact that I
couldn't install Installer v3.1 meant I had something wrong here as well.

Good news is I've resolved all problems or I hope I have. Downloading all
outstanding updates currently (2315 GMT) .......................

Installer file.....checked version of msi.dll found to be v3.0.......
Compared with 3.1.... on another machine. Tried to overwite "old" with new
but it wouldn't have it always showed 3.0..... Tried to delete but auto
reinstalled (I'd disabled installer service through services console. Please
explain why if you know).

Next thought best to remover any (3.0/3.1) installer package on PC.
Add/Remove programs didn't show any package but fortunately have a little
program called Reg Supreme Pro which identified 3.1 as being installed. Used
this to remove it. Then downloaded 3.1 redistributable V2 from download site
and had successful (re) install.

Connect to Update site and voila! Now valid (non-corrupt) installer package.
This time able to identify all outstanding updates - just checked machine and
now fully updated. Looks like OK now.

Many thanks to you Jan and also Don and PA Bear for help and support on this

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 !!!!

Hi barrowhill

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.

:
Kelly's site has a fix which changes the IsInstalled flag
value
to
0.
=
This enables reinstallation of IE.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/reg...s/ieinstall.reg

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.

says SHOW UPDATES

hope this helps

Mike,

Issue resolved. Please see rest of posts. I'd checked add/remove + Show
updates under control panel but on my system wasn't shown (?), hence the post.

 

[Guest]

Need something simple - I do not like this version of IE - I want my old IE
back - HOW DO YOU UNISTALL THIS PIECE OF CRAP???????

 

[Guest]

Plain English - HOW DO I UNINSTALL THIS PIECE OF JUNK Microsoft has put out
this time called IE7?????

 

[Guest]

chdudley,

Go to Control Panel and click Add/remove icon. You SHOULD see it there.
Remove. In my case - see previous posts - it wasn't, so a bit of a nightmare
to get rid of. I have to concur, in present state, not worth it the hassle.
