Is there a way to add IE7 to Windows 7RC? I can only remote login with IE7, now support for IE8 yet.

Is there a way to add IE7 to Windows 7RC? I can only remote login with IE7, now support for IE8 yet. HiUnfortunately no, this is not possible. IE7 was never tested with Windows 7 and the behavior of IE7 in this version of Windows would be completely different from previous versions of Windows.Hope this helps.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Ronnie - Actually.. There may be a way... It's a long shot.If he can get XP Mode installed, and can get IE 7 installed instead of IE 8, then he could technically do it.

So your saying I should do a dual boot setup with XP. I'll have to see what I have on the hard drive for space. Dam new firewall. Thank guys for the info.

Travellers - Well.. That would be one way to do it - a dual boot setup. But no, I was referring to a new feature of Windows 7 - XP Mode. It's a fully licensed copy of Windows XP SP3 that, by default, comes with IE 6. It runs in a virtual machine under Windows 7. It's specifically for those apps that will not run under anything but XP. It is, however, designed to be integrated with Windows 7. There are, however, a few caveats...1.) Your CPU and motherboard both must support hardware based virtualization. Check your system's documentation to see if it will work for you.2.) XP Mode is mainly for business apps, not for running old games. It has limited support for graphics and sound. 3.) XP Mode is primarily a business tool - hence it's only available on Win 7 Professional or Enterprise/Ultimate. 4.) XP Mode is XP in a virtual machine - as such, it's got a bunch of overhead involved. You may find your system's performance to be a bit sluggish.
