Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2008Installing earlier version of IE
How do I install an earlier version of Internet Explorer? It says I can't do it because I have a newer version. I have also tried editing the registry. - astroview120mm It would help if you state what operating system is installed.

It cannot be uninstalled nor can you install and earlier IE version. You can, however, upgrade WinXP SP2 to IE7 or install an earlier version of Windows that comes with IE5.x on a separate partition or Virtual Machine.

I kept a version of IE6 for use mainly on Microsoft sites, but someone installed some software from my ISP which put some toolbars and reskinned the whole browser with the Comcast brand. I uninstalled IE6 and tried to reinstall but it says I already have a newer version installed. Is there a registry value which tells the installer which version is installed? How can I get a plain installation of IE6 without using a virtual machine or reinstalling Windows XP? >I really hate Internet Explorer 7 and usually use Firefox for my browsing >needs.

Just install the IETab extension for Firefox...... http://ietab.mozdev.org Hi, You should be able to un-comcast IE6 with the information at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/ispunbrand.htm Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] > I really hate Internet Explorer 7 and usually use Firefox for my browsing needs.
