It looks like Microsoft's warning that you can't uninstall IE7 after you install Windows XP SP3 may apply conversely as well. If you do a fresh install of Windows XP SP3, the IE7 installer will fail. I'm still trying to see if I can force an IE7 install right now. Update 9:25PM - Finally got IE7 installed. The first botched installation left some instructions on the desktop to reset some permission on some file and I cut-paste it in to the CMD console. Then I downloaded the installer manually and installed it but it still gave me a failure notice and to reboot. After I rebooted, it appears that IE7 did get installed. Weird.

Project of lower importance With Vista out, XP will take a back seat as far as quality of development.Although I have to say, this is far better than some of the SP2 experiences that I have dealt with.Oh and.... First Try, No Problems!!! Mwahahahaha

Re: More XP SP3 problems - Problems installing Internet Explorer 7 Mine worked out fine. I did a fresh install from beginning to end though.
