Resolved Internet Explorer 8 will not install

It installs all files except the .exe file. I searched the Program File folder and no .exe file or icon there. It even updates during install. I checked in Add/Remove and IE8 is not listed. I'm stumped.

 

I found this solution that worked for me. How Ie got unchecked to begin with...?


From the Control Panel, select "Add or Remove Programs ". On the left side of the Add/Remove Programs window click "Add or Remove Windows Components ". This opens "Windows Components Wizard ". Internet Explorer should be on the list. Check the box, click "Next ", and the progress window should say windows is configuring the component. Once you click Finish, the Internet Explorer icon should appear on the Start Menu ( "All Programs ").
