Ok, so Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 is now available, not a preview or a refresh or anything, the full Beta 2 now, available here :
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx
BUT,
I have the IE 7 Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 2 Refresh, whatever the last public one was, installed, so I need to uninstall it before installing this new Beta 2 right ?
Ok, heres my prob, I can't figure out why. I go into the Add or Remove Programs panel, Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview is listed right there, not even under XP updates, BUT, when I click the Remove button, NOTHING happens. Have clicked Remove a dozen times, have rebooted and tried it again, still nothing. I can't uninstall it. How the he** do I uninstall it?
Edit :
Crap, I think I just realized why it won't uninstall.
Theres always a bunch of hidden blue uninstall folders at the top of C / Windows after I do Windows Updates. After a week or two when I'm sure I'm never going to have to uninstall any updates, I delete them.
One of them was for IE 7 Beta 2 Preview wasn't it ?
Crap, anyway to still uninstall this without a reformat ? I don't use system restore and never had it on.
