DRepke Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I want to install IE Beta 3 on WinXP SP2 but, before doing so, I have to uninstall Beta 2. However, it will NOT let me uninstall it. I receive this message:"Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 cannot be uninstalled from this user account. Please log on to the same user account from which it was installed and try again."I think this problem is occurring because I had to completely recreate my Windows XP profile a fews weeks after installing Beta 2. Therefore, the profile I'm using to log into Windows is different than the one I used to install SP2 -- even though it's the "same" user account. How can I get around this problem to uninstall Beta 2.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
