I tried to install IE7 on my PC:

WINXP SP2
Intel dual core @ 2.8 ghz
1GIG RAM

After several attempts the install would not complete. I called MS Tech Support & after several attempts they could not help.The Technician said they"are able to solve 80% of install problems"

I was not pre[pared to spend more time om=n this problem & am still not able to install the update.

MS called back & wanted me to try other approaches but I declined. They said a patch would be out in about 2 weeks.

Some pinhead has been going from system to system in my company installing IE7. This is especially annoying since I have made it extremely clear to all that until there is a stable final build (I usually give MS at least 6 months after "final") I will not tolerate the installation of ANY software. And that in no case is anyone other than IT to do any installations.

I have used MS's IE7 blocking software and set the firewalls to deny web access from IE7 and it still keeps poping up on systems.

If you ever find out why it's not installing, please post the answer. I'd like to get that onto my systems quickly.
