IE8 Uninstalled, can't reinstall.

I uninstalled IE8 through the control panel a number of weeks ago. I wish to download and install it again, but I cannot. Why? How can I get IE8 back?

Can you actually "uninstall" IE8?

Thanks

Hello BreakGuy,

You should be able to check Internet Explorer 8 in Windows Features to turn it back on in Windows 7.



Hope this helps,

I made sure the box for Internet Explorer 8 was checked, then restarted the computer.... still not showing.

How exactly did you uninstall IE8? Did you delete any folders?

Thanks.

I believe I uninstalled via Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Uninstall or change a program. I don't recall removing or deleting any folders or files.

Thanks. I was just curious. Looks like Brink is going to have to help you with this one.

Sorry

BTW what are you using to get on the net?

No worries. I'm using Safari right now.

Did you check the Programs Files folder, EX, C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer to see if the "iexplore.exe" is there and works??? You might just be missing the shortcuts.

You know what? That's the problem. I cannot believe I overlooked something that simple. Thank you very very much. Now I just need to create a shortcut and I'll be sorted. Thank you so much again.
