IE7 installed ok on my laptop, but on my PC it won't run the "runonce" page (error on page). I've done a google search and it seems to be a common problem. Solutions vary, but common ones require you to edit some of the Registry entries - however, these keys don't appear.

Update - checked out this site MSFN and found a solution.
(Create the keys using a batch file) now working ok.

javascript isn't blocked and seems to be working properly... not sure why you're not seeing the snowflakes

do you get the snowflakes on the bmw car club forum?

are you logged on with an administrator account?

does it give an error code for the failure?

shall i take that as a no then?

you don't see anywhere on the internet explorer 7 installation screen or windows update screen that says error [0xccc938] or something like that?

check administrative tools/event viewer/"application" for any red circles with white crosses around the time that you tried installing IE7 - are there any listed?  open some of them up, they should give you codes and descriptions, type them out on here

Err, hang on, aren't we missing the point here?

WHY do you want to load IE7?

Is IE6 broken?

(I've said it before - but I'll say it again....... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!)

Didn't you tell me earlier that there was no choice?

It was an "automatic update"

No it isn't - but we've already done this

Have you Actually tried?

yes, and no problems to report... had to remove it on a few clients computers... cause merry hell with hp scanner software and with bt broadband help program (although you can get round it by renaming psapi.dll in the bt broadband\help directory, it will pick up the ie7 psapi.dll file instead)
