More XP SP3 problems – Problems installing Internet Explorer 7
It looks like Microsoft’s warning that you can’t uninstall IE7 after you install Windows XP SP3 may apply conversely as well. If you do a fresh install of Windows XP SP3, the IE7 installer will fail. I’m still trying to see if I can force an IE7 install right now.
Update 9:25PM – Finally got IE7 installed. The first botched installation left some instructions on the desktop to reset some permission on some file and I cut-paste it in to the CMD console. Then I downloaded the installer manually and installed it but it still gave me a failure notice and to reboot. After I rebooted, it appears that IE7 did get installed. Weird.

ironicly i just installed XP SP2 yesterday and ironically i downloaded SP3 yesterday and i was successful in installing IE7 on the first try. weird.
With Vista out, XP will take a back seat as far as quality of development.
Although I have to say, this is far better than some of the SP2 experiences that I have dealt with.
Oh and…. First Try, No Problems!!! Mwahahahaha
Mine worked out fine. I did a fresh install from beginning to end though.

do you remember what the file you changed the permissions on and what you changed them to?
