Pre-installation advice
I recommend that you follow the steps below before installing Internet
Explorer 7. Some may not agree with my advice, but years of experience
have shown this to be best practice...
1.
The first thing to do is READ THE RELEASE NOTES. There are known
issues and you may save yourself hours of grief if you make sure you
are informed before you install IE7.
2.
Set a restore point (just in case).
3.
Turn off Automatic Updates (believe me, you'll thank me later if
you've already installed an IE7 beta or RC build).
4.
Disable protective software such as antivirus, antispyware and
crash guards.
5.
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL!!!
6.
Stay connected to the internet.
7.
Shut down all running programmes - that includes Messenger,
Windows Defender, and OneCare - don't forget to check the systray
icons as well.
8.
If you are running ZoneAlarm 6.5, disconnect from the internet,
uninstall ZoneAlarm, make sure Windows Firewall is enabled, reconnect
to the internet then install IE7. This is because ZoneAlarm was
blocking access to the Windows Registry. Yes, you have to uninstall
ZoneAlarm.
IE7 Gold's installer runs various registry permission checks
before installation starts to minimise the risk of aborted/damaged
installs, but there is no guarantee that the installer will pick up
everything. It is best to ensure that problematic software that may
block access to the registry be disabled.
If you still see registry permission problems, please check out

9.
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplo rer
\InstalledByUser
IE7RC1 installations failed if the DWORD was not there, but the
installer also deletes the DWORD after installation of RC1 is
successfully completed. You won't find it on a standard RC1
installation, but at the same time, the existence of the key is not
known to cause a problem. When the missing DWORD caused an
installation failure with RC1, all that happened was the install
rolled back, you saw the failure window, and a shortcut was dumped on
your desktop. So, if you wish, you can try adding the DWORD if you
have a mysterious installation failure that you have trouble finding a
cause for, but I doubt it will make any difference - it certainly
hasn't made a difference on any of the dozens of systems I have worked
with.
10.
Install Internet Explorer 7. Reboot *twice* before running your
new Web browser for the first time.
11.
Don't forget to re-enable your antivirus, third party firewall
and other protective software now that you're finished.
12.
Do not reinstall any version of Microsoft Windows in any way
after you install Internet Explorer 7. Do not upgrade Windows in place
or upgrade to a new edition. You must uninstall IE7 and reboot twice
before attempting to repair, reinstall or upgrade Windows:

Note that the uninstall directory is now at c:\windows
\ie7\spunist
The bug that broke IE6 when a repair install of Windows was
completed with IE7 installed has, apparently, been fixed, but it is
still strongly recommended that IE7 be uninstalled first.
Hope it helps you for more information
