Hi,

I have IE 7 Beta 2. I can't seem to uninstall it. I tried checking the 'Show updates', but still no joy. I wish to install IE 7 beta 3. Can you help me please?

Between your instructions (up to #10) and then Jon's instructions (starting at #4), IE6 and 7 both run. (Not flawlessly, in IE7's case, but enough to view pages.)

Thanks for posting them!

This is really useful as i also needed to try IE7 but at the same time wanted to keep IE6 running for work related projects.

Those instructions are outdated and can cause problems with the latest releases of IE6 and IE7. IE7 Beta 2 Preview writes a registry entry that conflicts with IE6 and browsing behavior in general.

I wrote a launch script that takes care of the registry entries, as well as the file rename and delete. It’s available here: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2005/12/28/434132.aspx
