IE 7 Beta 3 Cannot Complete Installation

Tuesday, July 18, 2006 by LadyJinx | Discussion: Windows Software

From my love and compasion of using Firefox, I recently broke down and downloaded Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 and disabled all anti-virus programs and firewalls and what not and installed it. I got this message after it had installed that said "Internet Explorer 7 could not be installed" and I following the instructions on the toubleshooting page it gave me after I rebooted. The registry has no problem and it says in the registry file that it keeps scanning for the correct one.

Although recently Norton had a complete lock on my computers ability to change the homepage on IE 6 but I finally got Norton disabled so much it has no purpose.

Any advice?

Hello Lady. I think you should take a look at https://forums.wincustomize.com/?ForumID=70&AID=81379#948745 This is a recurrent problem with Symantes stuff and you may find some good explanation to whats going on, although I didn't have any problem installing IE7 b3 and still using Norton 2005 - what a shame!
