503393 2006-11-30 22:44:00 Just thought I would record my experience with failed IE7 installs so that others might find it helps shorten the time I took . This XP Home m/c just wouldn't install IE7 failing to write a reg entry in spite of my checking permissions for that entry . Tried in safe mode - still no go . It was also complicated by the first install hanging (another problem with this m/c - hanging video dvr sisgrv . dll) resulting in a partial install which almost worked and no regression back to IE6!

This solution is also relevant for other acl permission install problems . This site got me over the problem:- . msdn . com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820 . aspx" target="_blank">blogs . msdn . com

It involves downloading a prog from MS together with a cmd file to run . It takes about 10 min to run while it gives system full control to many reg entries and system files . So it is a sledge hammer rather than a surgeon's scalpel! But it did work - at 1 a . m . !!!

So, negative profit here on this dog . Mostly disabling ZA allows the install but not for this one . Did I also mention the two trojans?? ;)

Hope it may be useful for someone sometime .
