Internet Explorer 7 Install

[acen2006]

Would anyone please be able to help. I install internet explorer 7 from runonce and it installs fine but it seems to change the windows theme to classic for some reason even tho I have a theme change in the WINntsif. Everything worked ok before I added the IE part.

how do you installed IE7? did you use the silent installer by shark007? i still havent added to my uadvd.

maybe there's a conflict with the ie7 dll's.

I have it working fine in RunOnceEx method.

I download the Internet Explorer Admin Kit (IEAK) for IE7. You will need IE7 installed before you run this.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...k7/default.mspx

You can use this to create an IE7Setup.exe which you can personalise. It is mainly aimed at easy deployment in corporate environments but no reason why you cannot use it on a home PC.

I include IE7 at the end of my RunOnceEx.cmd which appears to work fine on my virtual PC (MS Virtual PC 2004).

The /Q installs in quiet mode, no progress bar is displayed. Note that the install does take a while ie. more than 5 mins.

Hope this helps.

Here is my RunOnceEx.cmd:

It happens me the same like @acen2006, it changes the theme to classic when I install Internet explorer 7.0, but the strange, i have tried the installation in the VM and it has installed like a charm but when i install it in a real PC, it changes the theme.

Any suggest please on how can i fix it?

Thanks

im installing it from runonceex and i dont have this error. maybe it is because i apply a custom theme in my winnt.sif file and when the runonceex routine finishes, windows loads this theme.

maybe you can try to load a theme in winnt.sif

if you like the default windows theme, apply it to see if this solves your problem.

BTW, im using the original installer from microsoft with this switches /passive /update-no /norestart

[Major]

I am loading the theme via Winnt.sif, and i am using also the original installer with the switch /passive /update-no /nobackup /norestart. I will try to put a batch file to install the theme i want until there is a solution.

Thanks @elajua

[ajua]

also you can try to avoid the /nobackup switch just to see if it solves the problem. maybe it is caused by a file being replaced or something. just a thought.

[Major]

I will try it.

Thanks for every1s help with this! I have now got this to work. I change the order in the runonce in the NTSIF. I make sure IE7 install first, well it seems to have done the trick but I know get this appear on the desktop :

(DESKTOP.INI, file)

[.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=@shell32.dll,-21782

[LocalizedFileNames]

Remote Assistance.Ink=@%systemroot%\system32\rcbdyctl.dll ,-152

Outlook Express.Ink=@xpsp1res.dll,-11004

[Major]

I don´t understand you because i have always installed IE7 the first in the RunOnceEx but did not the trick

[ajua]

i had my IE7 almost at the top of my RunOnceEx file

this way im not having issues with IE7 except that 2 setups (tuneup utilities and solveigmm splitter) show an error saying that a shotcut to a website cannot be created. i just click ok on those error and my runonceex continues. im trying to figure out whats going on with those shortcuts.
