IE7BETA3-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe has been sitting on my desktop for some time now. I haven't really had the chance to update since beta2, or maybe its just because I am lazy. Now, before we begin I want you all to know I am running a legit copy of windows(got the pretty little key and all).
When I went to update IE7 beta2 the other morning around 3ish, it said that Internet explorer had already been installed and that I would need to go into add/remove programs blah blah. So I did that and I didn't see any sign of IE7 so I did the most illogical thing I could do, extract the files from IE7BETA3-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe and replace the ones in my IE7 folder. At 3am this sounded like a wonderful idea, so I gave myself a pat on the back and thought of how much of a genius I was. Then I ran into a problem. I was out of cookies and milk, after resolving that I returned to my computer to find that Internet explorer no longer worked and the cookies I had fetched were stale; How could my life get any worse? So then, I will leave it to you young folks to help me solve this little problem I have created for myself. Thanks in advance
