Resolved [How to uninstall IE9 beta?]

I have Windows Vista operating system. How do I uninstall IE9 to revert back to IE8 ? IE9 does not show in view installed updates. Help very confused

 

Apparently, you just need to right click on the installation package and then select uninstall.

 

Thanks, but it is not showing the installation package in the viewed install updates. If it did I would not be asking this question. So what do I need to do now ????

 

Well, odd it's not there, but the only other way I can think of is to download the installer package again and save it to your desktop (do not install it) then try what I first suggested. Once done you can delete the installer.

 

Nope still did not find on the list so is there any other way that you know of please ???

 

Did you download the installer package again as I suggested? It won't be in the list if you saved it to your desktop.

You need to save the download to your desktop, then you can use it to uninstall the existing installation. Right click>uninstall.

The only other method I can think of is to do a system restore to a time before you installed IE9.

I've seen a lot of threads about this problem but not much in the way of solutions. Maybe one of the other members here has another solution.

 

okay I will try it again... Thanks I will let you know if it worked.

 

Nope still did not work..please is there another route ???

 

I have found just one other possibility, with the download saved to your desktop, right click on it and select 'Restore Previous Versions'.

Did you try system restore?


I have now read dozens of threads about this problem and time and time again the advice to uninstall is to look in 'installed updates'. Where there are replies the response is that IE9 does not appear in the list.

I am so glad I did not install it on my computer. I am sure we will get more people with this problem until Microsoft or somebody else can make an uninstaller.

Could there be something that is stopping it from appearing in the list of installed updates.

 

OK, thanks for the help here, I've learned something I am sure will come up again

Chyana, can you now find it now.

Here are all the instructions together.

1. In Vista's Start Search box type Appwiz.cpl and click [Enter].

2. In the left pane, click View installed updates.

3. Scroll down and click on Microsoft Windows

4. Locate Windows Internet Explorer 9, right click and select uninstall.

Please let us know the outcome

 

Okay this what I have in the Appwiz.cpl see below


appwiz.cpl x86 microsoft there ar 3 like this so which one to uninstall ???

 

In the installed updates it also says..update for Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1..so is this the one ???

 

Those two are not correct.

From my list of instructions:

If 'Microsoft Windows is not in the list as you scroll down then report back.

 

In this link the instructions are slightly different and use a different method of getting to installed updates. It also omits the need to find Microsoft Windows and goes straight for IE9.

Thanks but again it does not say anything about IE9 in the installed update section. I do not show where IE9 was installed but I am using IE9..so now what ??? I have used these instructions and again I cannot uninstall this. How can I when it does not show it ???
