Yep - uninstall 9,and se if IE8 re-appears.
If not, then go to 'Turn Windows features on and off) in Programs & Features, and uncheck the entry for it there, reboot, and re-check the entry. Click OK, and reboot, then see if IE has re-appeared.
Hi Noel,Yep - uninstall 9,and se if IE8 re-appears.
If not, then go to 'Turn Windows features on and off) in Programs & Features, and uncheck the entry for it there, reboot, and re-check the entry. Click OK, and reboot, then see if IE has re-appeared.
The IE 9 files are not there so I cannot uninstall it. It's also not in the 'Turn Windows features on and off' dialog.
I have therefore decided to do a repair install as you suggested, this will hopefully get me back to a base position.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Anthony
Ouch -good luck with the repair install!
Back up your data to external media first, just in case of disaster.
I back up personal files every day to an external drive...
Windows 7 now repaired. I have IE 8, just need to clean up after the install and wait for .Net Framework version 4 to be repaired.
I'd be inclined to avoid installing IE10 for the moment - a little bird has told me that someone has lit a large bonfire under the IE team to rewrite the installer.
No idea when a revised installer will be available yet.
It seems to be one of those things that either goes well (as all my installs have) or is rather a nightmare to deal with - like the ones that we see here.
Well, I'm now back where I started and I'm not going to start the IE10 install again.
I ran CheckSUR and still have one error?
I attach the cbs.log and CheckSUR.log
cheers,
Anthony
The CheckSUR shows the following problem...
The CBS log shows nothing out of the ordinary - but there are no SFC results in it.Code:Unavailable repair files: winsxs\manifests\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..wsupdateclient-core_31bf3856ad364e35_7.6.7600.256_none_d5f513f25190f276.manifest
Please run an SFC /SCANNOW and post the new CBS.log, just in case.
....and yes, current advice is not to force an install of IE10 if it fails first time for any reason - MS is apparently working on an improved installer.
Updated CBS.log attached.
I hope the new IE10 installer is better.
Thanks,
Anthony
