IE10, IE11 will NOT reinstall into Win7 after op/sys reinstall/repair
Recently I had to *reinstall* the op/sys.
Something got into my user profile documents & corrupted the files including the network ability to connect to the internet.
Not wanting to dump the op/sys I chose the route of using the install disc to *overwrite* the current system to correct the corrupt dll's.
By using the *upgrade* option the install disc simply rewrote all the files to correct the corrupted files.
All went well, the system is running fine once again with the exception of Win7SP1 is packaged with IE8, and overwrote IE11 which is what I was using.
Now I cannot get either IE10 or 11 back into the system. I've researched and found some answers to this anomaly with regards to hybrid graphics cards or system restore not running or update turned off. Discount all of those scenerios, they do not come into play.
I am baffled as to what has happened, I do not know what has changed,
going to the Microsoft link on an explanation as to why the browser will not install there is an option to *manually* install the pre-requisite KB files, I cannot install any of the five of them as *the service cannot be started, don't have a device enabled associated with it*, (what device?) oddly they all are displayed as .msu files NOT .msi files,
every time I attempt this the install fails, a shortcut is placed on the desktop going to a link to Microsoft explaining the problem.
I have no idea what the h*ll is going on.....rather frustrated,
All I can get to install is IE9.
Thx in advance for any suggestions to finding out what has taken place.
