[IE 7 Beta 3]

In theory that is possible. But there are many files and folders so it would take a very long time. If you are trying to uninstall Beta 2, your best bet is to get a copy of someone's uninstaller. Btw, Beta 3 is much better.

 

I would not suggest that you manually, by yourself, try to make the changes. There will be registry changes as well. (Just wanted to make that clear. )

 

 

There is a scrip for that already for German windows xp sp2 and german ie 7 beta 2

My 2 cents on installing IE7 (or ANY new software, registry hacks, etc.) BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM FIRST! I use Norton Ghost to create an image file of my entire C drive, including the registry, and I store the image files on an external hard drive. Once you have a backup you are free to experiment to your heart's content. You are even free to infect your system with nasty viruses. When something bad happens all you do is retrieve the last image file and all your mistakes are rolled back to the point where your computer was working perfectly. I installed IE7 Beta about a month ago, didn't like it, and removed it by going back to the image file I created just before installing IE7. The entire process took about 11 minutes and I have over 7GB of data on my C drive.

 

Happy tweaking,

Mark

 

 

I already do backups, but why I am not allowed to ask questions like mine?

Maybe he knows more about this, and I am interested in such stuff.

 

Nobody willing to answer my question?

[IE 7 Beta 3]

IE7 Beta 3 creates this directory:

 

C:\WINDOWS\ie7beta3

 

In that directory is an spuninst folder. Inside that folder is spuninst.exe as well as a very interesting document called spuninst.txt which details exactly what will be deleted and replaced with older copies during uninstall of IE7 Beta 3.

 

Now, in the past some have offered their own copies of the uninstall directory when others have foolishly deleted their own copies, or third party software has done it for them. But be warned, there is more to removing IE7 Beta 3 than just that directory. A directory called C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$ is also edited/created during the installation of IE7 Beta 3, and it is full of various security update folders. The potential for damage if you take somebody else's C:\Windowsie7beta3 and install it on your own system to remove the beta is incalculable. On my system $NtUninstallKB915865$ and $NtUninstallKB904942$ were also created/updated."

 

Does this help me to manually remove IE7Beta2 when I manually delete those files?
