I tried uninstalling it from Add/Remove Programs, and It said I had to delete it from the account which I installed it on. But I deleted the account I installed it on. Is there any other way to delete this besides reformating? Thanks in advance.

I have heard many rumours that you cannot uninstall IE7 Beta 2. Many professionals told me the only way to remove it is a complete re-install of XP. So, I'm just using FireFox and IE 7 Beta 2 for Windows Updates.

-EDIT

Just been talking to that professional, he said the IE 7 B2 removal differs from computer to computer. Start > Control Panel > Add + Remove Programs > Tick "show updates" > Click IE7 Beta 2 Preview, Click Remove.

Please tell me the results.

Im using FF too, but there has to be someway to remove it so i can just have IE 6.

[jgmizz1]

Yeah I did that and I got an error saying I have to uninstall it through the account I installed IE 7 on. But I deleted that acoount.

Ok, BRB...

I don't have an answer to your question but I will say that I uninstalled IE7 beta 2 the other day for a friend. I used add/remove programs and it uninstalled without any problems. I'm sticking with FireFox but have IE6 as a backup for those (few) websites where FireFox doesn't work.

Get the IE Tab extension for firefox.

Will it let you install IE 7 if you log in with an administrator account, if so, you can remove it and it should take all references with it

[jgmizz1]

I'm on an administrator account. If it matters i downloaded IE B2 off filehippo. Also I dont see it in Add/Remove Programs. (i think i deleted it while using that thingy in HJT).

Sometimes with software the uninstall file goes missing and you end up with this situation, re-installing the application puts the uninstall file back, so you can remove the programme, have you tried to re-install it

[jgmizz1]

I just did, and I get an error saying it was already installed, and to remove it from Add/Remove programs. B

You definitely have a tick in show updates and it isn't showing?
