    conditions:
    -no ie ver's exist on pc
    -ie7 shows in control/add-rem but no file size exists
    -removed ie7... saw files being removed, register re-config'd, etc
    -ie7 setup rests on desktop now
    -no ie7 icon ever appeared
    -no programs causing conflict seem to be on pc

    no go:
    -safe mode
    -running WGA
    -checked administrator - i'm ok
    -turned off anti-spyware
    -un-checked "install ie7 updates" during install
    -ran on guest user also

    pmarc - Welcome to the Board :)

    Comments .....
    There will always be a version of IE on the computer - it is integrated into Windows unless you have 'wrenched' it out.
    How?
    Download to hard drive, not desktop.
    First time I've heard of that and would instinctively distrust. Far better option is a 'known' registry cleaner. Try jv16PowerTools 30 day uncrippled trial and use Find in Registry.

    Error messages?

    Read Before installing IE7 - scroll down from top.

    I have not read Castner's thread recently.

    You may have had a corrupted install - follow up with the manual removal here - it may do nothing now if the uninstall file is no longer present .....

    ie7 I have it

    Well, for those who use mozilla - this may be interesting...
    I tried installing ie7 yesterday... ie7 icon was not anywhere...and in cntrl/add-rem no file data given... and no listing in start/all programs

    But mozilla took on a differerent look - kind of an adulterated-by-google look

    Anyway, I ignored mozilla..

    Today I happened to do for the 1st time: my computer/c:/programs ... and voila there was ie7.. which I sent to desktop as shortcut. Done. At this moment ie7 is not listed in start/all programs.. and in cntr/add-rem it's on the left but not on the right in file size area...

    And, at no time incl now... has " ie7 " showed up in start/search... but what I had yesterday was some Explore files with like 10k data.. date said 2004/2005 .. I dunno...

    Is IE 7 working or not? - unclear from your last post.
