    Go to Control Panel / Programs and Features. There are three tabs: one for the programs, one for the Windows features, and one for the updates which have been installed.
    • Go to the tab for the Windows features and make sure that Internet Explorer is unchecked.
    • Now go to the Updates tab, and look for any updates which are related to Internet Explorer. Uninstall all of them.
    • Click OK.
    • Reboot.
    You should now be able to install IE.
    After doing so, be sure to do a Windows Update, to get all of the IE updates.
