IE7-RC1

The Microsoft Customer Improvement Program thingy or w.e said for one of the
problems it couldn't figure out was instead to download the newer IE7-RC1
(7.0.5700.6) from what I have (RC1, 7.0.5384.4). After tring to download from
the site
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...x#ie7Downloads it
said that IE7 wasn't supported on this operating system, Vista beta 2 (5384).
Now I know for a fact since I'm running IE7 RC1 now, it must be supported. So
am I downloading from the wrong url or what?

Thanks.

How did you even get IE7 RC1 to install on Vista Beta 2? It usually stops you
will the warning "This isn't compatible, go away!"

Are you sure you have the RC1 version of IE? The only supported way to
upgrade IE7 in vista is to upgrade vista to a newer version (upgrade from
Vista Beta 2 to Vista RC1...)

In Windows Vista the right and latest version of IE7 is already included.

Do not try to do a manual setup to a version higher or for different Winver.

The downloadable IE7 are only for XP and server 2003 OS.

If IE7 gets an Update then Vista will automatically downlaod the right
version via WindowsUpdate ( WU in Vistas ControlPanel - never go with a
VistaSystem to the WindowsUpdate Website ! )

It's all handled now via the Operating System if you choose automatic
updates.

I have the same suggestion from Microsoft to go to that link and update IE7
to the latest version. There is no version on that site for Windows Vista
so I would imagine it'll be in an update soon. IE7 RC1 is version
7.0.5700.6 and the version included with Windows Vista RC1 is 7.0.5600.16384
so it's not the latest, or the RC1 version of IE7, unless IE7 version #'s
are different for Windows XP and Vista.

From the IE7 RC1 download page
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en),
Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1 for Windows XP SP2

Which part of "for Windows XP SP2" is causing you the problem?

It's not the problem of being for XP. The problem is the versions numerical
differences between the Vista and XP versions. I think he is concerned with
having the very latest IE7 possible if in fact both Operating Systems use the
same version naming convention.
