How to install and use IE7.0 in Windows 2003

Recently, a foreign Rafael Rivera netizen "invented" a way to apply the new Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 1 on Windows 2003. He deleted several files and let Windows 2003 use IE 7.0. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Unzip IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe into a temporary folder. 2. Delete the following in the unpacked folder:

update\\

install.ins

spmsg.dll

spuninst.exe

spupdsvc.exe

3. Create a blank text file in the unpacked folder and name it iexplore.exe.local.

4. Now that we have a standalone version of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1, move this folder to whatever you want to store.

5. Run iexplore.exe.
