IE10 A Bit Of A No Go For Me

Hi Guys

I tried to install IE10 Last night but got an error on reboot saying IE could not be started or something like that so I rolled back to IE9.
Today I thought I would try again and ran an sfc /scannow first to restore my modded system files first to see if that was the issue (icons etc) and it installed fine. Played with it for an hour or so with no problems and then added back my modified system files in both system32 and systemwow64 (imageres.dll, imagesp1.dll, shell32.dll, zipfldr.dll, devicecentre.dll, authui.dll, enabled custom themes by patching resourses, custom start menu button, and changed logon and logoff text) As I do with all my windows.
Now IE10 will not start again, it just sits there trying to load for 5-6 seconds and bombs out.
It seems like it doesn't like one or more of the system files been altered. Anyone here with modded system files having the same sort of issues at all.

Hey Danny -

Maybe it's because you're on the wrong side of the pond.

I've got a few modded system files and IE10 installed just fine. Only suggestion I have is to uninstall IE10 one more time, restore defaults with SFC, and then reinstall the mods one at a time to see which one breaks IE10. Then you can decide if it's something you can do without or go back to IE9 and give IE10 a couple of months to iron out any issues. I kinda seem to recall some similar problems when IE9 first came out.

That was my plan I've just rerun sfc /scannow without uninstalling IE10 and it works again now, just gonna do one mod at a time see which one it may be. My moneys on the Universal theme patcher for custom themes, its the only one that would make any sense.

Wow how wrong was I. This is really odd, it broke again after I added my customised imageres.dll, imagesp1.dll, shell32.dll, zipfldr.dll, devicecentre.dll. All was ok with Universal Theme Patcher and custom Themes. I cannot understand what the link would be between IE and those icon files.

P.S I'm very well Thankyou Lee just 5 weeks to go before our 3rd baby is due, getting excited again now. Hope you are well also.

Well I have found the issue a recent update My guess is the platform update has updated the shell32 folder in both system32 and systemWOW64 its now a different size to the original one although I cant see any icon changes. Just means I have to now modify the new ones with my icons (or at least I hope that's all is is.



Left is new one Right is original one

That's kinda confusing, Danny. It also looks like the file path changed from D:\Origional (SP?) System Files to C:\Windows.

Congratulations on #3! That's awesome. Maybe you'll be celebrating Easter Sunday (3/31) in the maternity ward.

Thanks Lee yes due on the 2nd April so may well be.

The file path is only different because the D:\Origional location are just my backup copies:) Think I may have been wrong anyway still struggling with it

Edit - I have spent some time on it now and for some reason IE10 is linked to the shell32.dll file. As soon as I change a single icon in the .dll IE10 refuses to start even though its installed correctly

I'm having issues to, ie4uinit.exe The application was unable to start, I also use custom themes and icons, so im about to just restore my system back to IE9! ..BOOOOOOO

like i ever used IE9, never unless I needed to download media rights to play music in WMP12
