Use NLite -> Service Pack Slipstreaming and point to folder with your IE 7.0 installation file and should work

Actually not it gives me one error....

where to download ie 7. Help.

Cool!
Where you DL it???

I really want to try it!

Read the news on the frontpage,
It states that IE7 Beta1 is only being distributed to 10,000 beta testers and 500,000 msdn and technet members.
General public will get when Beta2 is released.
Microsoft Releases Limited Beta Of IE7 For Windows XP

isn't slipstreaming the first IE 7 Beta 1 kinda extreme.....

is not working with nlite.....

My MS Antispyware removed IE7 Beta one as Spyware - well done MS!!! :-)

i unpacked the ie7 using winrar and then found out that same files are also in my xpcd\i386 folder. except this ones:
.
so i am thinking to pack the rest and overwrite them to I386. but i need to find a way to add this ones above....

i think i quit....
is still buggy....found one WU does not show up corectlly.....

try IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /s:#:\###### ,mine is working, but I don't know if it works when installed, if you type IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe /? you will find it's the same with general Windows Hotfixes, I tried to install IE7 quietly with /q /z switch in order to skip wga but it doesn't work. in the svcpack.inf I found lines like this :[SetupHotfixesToRun]
ie7beta1.exe /q /n /z
and I found this in hfint.dat

has the winbeta release

Removed By Me

i still get some error about iesetup.dll at xpsetup. i used nlite with ie7 setup acting as a service pack and also pack all files from ie7setup pack and add entries to dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif. and i get the same error....

It has the MS product validation on it btw for users who dont know but this can be easily bypassed with a custom hex edited dll.

ya is a .dll file in the update folder of ie7setup

.

its a hacked version of iecustom.dll which bypasses

try doing this to slipstream:
this should work however the files are uncompressed so you have to go back and overwrite them with compressed versions if you are short on cd space.

so how exactly do you bypass the validation?

EDIT:

Here are some steps that got IE7 running on XP SP2, without installing it.

First extract the IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe file using something like winrar. Then go to the folder you just extracted and delete the file SHLWAPI.DLL and the folder Update. Then open notepad and just save a blank file in notepad as IEXPLORE.exe.local . Then you will be able to run the iexplore.exe.


found it here: http://labs.insert-title.com/labs/?ID=795

Kinda works boooqqy.

Ok added IE7 beta 1 direct integration support in next nlite.
No hacking, no WGA, just replaces and installs like normal IE, gonna reinstall tomorrow with it and give it a live tour.

Is the IE7b1 multilingual?

(or is it in English only)

the legit crack worked, but I don't understand why this won't install for me....

I get an Access Denied error while installing and then it prompts me to uninstall, and it doesn't. It reboots and I'm forced to do a System Restore. can anyone help me out? thanks

Jacksont123 method of editing the iecustom.dll works!!!

IE7 beta is great but yahoo mail doesn't work with this beta version.

Pawan

I dont recommend using it since its BETA software and BETA1 at that, at least wait till BETA2 is out which will be for the public. BETA1 is english only I think since people have being hacking the languages to make it work. There have being reported problems with the beta, and many users have experienced IM programs not working and breaking due to install.

This is what you get when you try to open Yahoo mail.

If you click on 'Switch Back to Yahoo version supported......' you are able to access your Yahoo email.

I have tried installing Windows with IE7 integrated, and it comes out to a failure!
During installation of the GUI part of Windows XP an error message appeared saying a dll registry entry cannot be found. Later after the installation IE7 fails to work reporting an DLL file is missing, tried to put that DLL file into the installation folder, an error would come out saying the system cannot find about:blank!!
I strongly recommend NOT to integrate IE7 into the installation of Windows, the best way out is to hack the installation source, repack the installation of IE7 and ONLY add an entry in the SVCPACK.INF

If you have not noticed, Yahoo Mail, will not work because it detects it as a incompatible browser so does launch and there will be other sites with the same problem.. so to fix it in the group policy editor goto user settings, software, internet exploer, connections, user strings and in there you can type in (what it says for ie6) and whala it works..

With the d/l link above
Trillian also fails to work.
I also started getting BSOD's, something I haven't seen in a long time, and Internet was plain flaky, no integration or nothing, all i done was Install to check it out.

Uninstall and all's fine. BTW you have to click the Show Updates in Add/Remove to Uninstall. Make up your own mind if you'd rather wait cause it looks good and hope to see a release soon.

Thanks, but do you know how it can use its own settings? It uses the "Internet Options" from IE6, which don't include Tab Settings for example.

not really... i think is just a method to run ie7 to see how it is. is not an installation.... so that's why is using ie6 properties....even if u go to help>about ie will show up as ie6. if u wanna have all features then install it. or better wait for new nlite, nuhi said it will support full integration without checking if your xp is genuine....

The Hacked method works fine, but update does NOT support /q /n /z switches, you can try place the update.exe with a older version of it, I tried extacting the update.exe file from KB873333.exe and replace it, it works fine for me without prompting for WGA, and the /q /z switches works perfect
