I need Internet Explorer 6.0
in [Internet Explorer 6]

From: Shubee on 7 Jun 2007 14:32 I need Internet Explorer 6.0 on my machine so that I can interface with software on a network. My employer says that Internet Explorer 7.0 will not work with their software at this time. I went to uninstall I.E 7.0 thinking that I can install I.E 6.0 from my Windows CD and then return to 7.0 when my project is finished. When I attempted to uninstall I.E 7.0, Windows gave me a long list of programs that might stop working if I were to continue with the uninstall process. Would it be possible to temporarily install Internet Explorer 6.0 along side of 7.0 on the same machine? What should I do?
From: Rob ^_^ on 7 Jun 2007 16:10 Hi Shubee, First up, if this is a work computer then you should seek their advice before altering THEIR computers configuration. You can cloak IE7 to appear as IE6 to your company's servers with the IE7 UserAgent string utility http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9517DB9C-3C0D-47FE-BD04-FAD82A9AAC9F&displaylang=en When you choose 'Uninstall IE7' from the Add-Remove Programs applet, IE6 SP2 will be reinstalled automatically to your XP system (not available on Vista machines) Regards.

Actually, I'm working from home so the computer is mine. Windows XP home edition. :-) > You can cloak IE7 to appear as IE6 to your company's servers with the IE7 > UserAgent string utility > > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9517DB9C-3C0D-47FE-BD04-FAD82A9AAC9F&displaylang=en I don't think it's the appearance of IE7 that would cause the problem. The software that I need to interface with will only work with IE6. Will that string utility make IE7 work exactly like IE6? > When you choose 'Uninstall IE7' from the Add-Remove Programs applet, IE6 SP2 > will be reinstalled automatically to your XP system (not available on Vista > machines) OK. But I was frightened by the threat that I would end up with a bunch of programs that would no longer work properly. What was the point of that Windows message if it wasn't true? Thanks for replying.

From: PA Bear on 7 Jun 2007 21:02 Ignore the warnings and uninstall IE7 (but afterwards, immediately check in at Windows Update and install any critical updates offered; do NOT reinstall IE7 via Windows Update).

Thank you PA Bear. That was very helpful. So you don't recommend that I use the IE7 UserAgent string utility? Shubee |
