Problem with old file verisons with Internet Explorer 7

[spacesurfer]

I choose to integrate Internet Explorer 7 and when nLite comes to that points, it asks me if I want to overwrite the newer file in install source with an older one? Obviously I choose to keep the newer one but why is it doing that?

My install source is SP3 Pro. Did SP3 pro update some files to newer ones and IE 7 has older versions of those files?

All of my other updates are after IE7, by the way, including the IE7 cumulative update.

Now sure how you went about your custom pack for IE7, but here is how I did mine and it works a charm.

(ENTRIES_IE7.ini)

[general]
builddate=08/21/2008
description=Internet Explorer 7
language=English
version=7.0.5730.13
website=http://www.microsoft.com

[EditFile]
I386\SVCPACK.INF,SetupHotfixesToRun,AddProgram

[AddProgram]
IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /quiet /norestart /update-no /nobackup

Just download the installer from MS (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe) and place in the svcpack folder., then zip the ini and rest up in a zip or cab. Of course if you want it to backup replaced files then remove the /nobackup switch. If you keep it like above it wont show in add/remove programs and cannot be uninstalled.

I mean during the nLite integration process; not during the actual xp install.

Perhaps you can resort to an add-on instead?

Check out http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4847 or http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4289 .

They both are updated for MS IE7 updates and will simplify things for you.

Ahh, I misunderstood you, sorry
