IE7 Installs but not fully

[The_Dude_1978]

This is how I installed the updates that (damned) won't install through svcpack.inf (my favorite).

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Update Windows Media" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\i386\SVCPACK\KB917734.exe /passive /norestart" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Internet Explorer 7" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\IE7\IE7.exe /passive /update-no /norestart" /f

So it installs itself fine. But the first time i get into windows internet explorer 6 is still there. When starting ie it's still version 6. Not that I don't mind, cause on a reboot (I log on once automatic) internet explorer 7 does work en want's to configure itself. The only thing that sucks is that quick launch and start > programs > display's the icon of internet explorer 6.

I like some help with that.

I also noticed by going to the \Software\IE7\IE7.exe /? I get an option list of install switches. I'm just saying this because i do not hear often this advice to people on switches. My point is that I still have to test the /quiet mode and without the /update-no switch. And by the way I got ie7.exe out of the automatic updates folders of C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download. You get about a 30 seconds chance to grab the file.

Different strokes for different folks, but why not download the full file directly from Microsoft and then grab a copy of IEAK 7 as a compliment? Run the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard and you have your unattended installer. Works great for me.

Its supposed to be like that. only on reboot IE6 files are replaced. its not a bug or problem.

I found a similar problem. After I install, I get the IE7 icon on the desktop, but it is still the IE6 icon in the Quick Launch. I found that this only occurs for the first user. Subsequent users get an IE7 icon.

Also, on first launch, it prompts me to download IE7 as an upgrade. If I close it, then it never asks again.
