    Need help re-installing IExplorer


    I had IE11 running, but it causes problem with BF4 and Winamp.

    So I uninstalled it through the programs turn windows features on/off. As recommended.

    I then installed IE10. But it doesn't show up anywhere and I cannot find it on disk.
    If I try to install IE10 again, a message appears stating it is already installed.

    Any ideas to fix this would be appreciated!

    Using Windows 7 Prof x64.

    Check location of executable


    Do you find the following files?

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    If you don't see these files try downloading the standalone installer mentioned and linked to in this tutorial:

    Internet Explorer 10 - Enable 32-bit or 64-bit IE10 in Windows 7

    As far as I know the following methods are the correct way to remove IE11:

    Internet Explorer 11 - Uninstall in Windows 7

    So try going back to "turn windows features on or off" and undo the changes that you made followed by a reboot.

    If you uninstall IE11 then windows updates will attempt to reinstall it so you'll need to disable the update!
