Disagree.

There is no downside for Microsoft to allow MSIE 10 on Windows 7, whereas Direct-X and Service Packs can increase the computer useful lifetime to the home user. Also, they probably want to avoid re-creating the situation with lingering MSIE 6 ( or 7 and 8 ) on countless Windows XP computers which does not help their future MSIE 10 usage statistics.

Furthermore, MSIE is often of some actual value to corporate, whereas Direct-X and Service Packs in most scenarios are not. IMHO they are trying to salvage this broad customer group from considering jumping ship off Windows when their various agreements expire because they are unlikely to move to Windows 8 for a very long time. So offering them support for MSIE will convince some of the bean-counters planning no move to 8, that staying on 7 is a sounder and cheaper idea than the riskier move of leaving the Windows platform altogether. Look at it this way ... If MSIE 10 was completely banned from Windows 7 they just might force the hand of corporate decision makers enough to consider the nuclear option of Apple, Linux, even Android. If they lose corporate it is all over but the shouting.

The home user will get no such TLC because their expenditure came and went when they got their copy at computer purchase. They will apparently have the option to use MSIE 10 when it is released, but their value to Microsoft is exactly what it always has been - a large scale beta test force dutifully sending in WER usually without even realizing it. When their computer dies, there will be a new one with Windows 8 waiting for them. Adoption by attrition is the plan as usual. And again, it helps usage statistics.

So I see no act of benevolence here. And abandonment is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

I strongly believe SP2 will come out

things like this are step 1

steven4554, thanks for the links. I installed IE10 (x64) on my VM and it looks OK but I tried to inject the cab file with no luck. I got the 800f081e error - "The package is not applicable...". I mounted the image and ran this command with Windows6.1-KB2650043-x64-en-us.cab file in the Cabinet folder:

DISM  /Add-Package /Image:%Mount% /PackagePath:"C:\Users\zz??zz\Desktop\Cabinet"

BTW the file is the same as the IE-Win7.CAB file in the DLed IE10 x64 .exe file. Thanks and enjoy, John.

There are some updates that are needed to be in the offline image before you integrate IE10 into Win7 image

KB2670838 KB2639308 KB2533623 KB2731771 KB2729094

You will find some of them in my Update Lists.

[johnhc]

Thanks steven4554. I have two of them and will DL the other three tomorrow and see it that helps. Strange that Windows Update is not calling for these updates. When I install on VM, WU says no updates (except Malware thing and Win Defender) and MBSA runs clean. BTW IE9 is in the image from a previous SysPref/Capture. Thanks and enjoy, John.

[UltimateSilence]

The aesthetics are so basic. It feels like Windows 3.1.



Although...it does feel significantly faster on the Pentium 4 desktop downstairs. I wonder if there's a way to get it running on Vista?

You can try to replace the files manually after unpacking the installer. I already mentioned in the older topic that a user from Poland had managed to do it with the previous IE 10 Platform Preview.

http://forum.dobrepr...ie-t460656.html (use a translator)

He basically installed IE10 in Windows 7 and then copied its folder to Vista.

[MagicAndre1981]

does the IE10 also have this ugly font rendering like IE9?

[johnhc]

steven4554, I injected the three missing updates and the IE10 cabinet injected OK. How did you find out about these three: KB2670838, KB2639308 and KB2533623? Searching Windows DL Center and Windows Update Catalog turned up nothing for KB2670838. I found it through a Google search and it is a pre-release. Perhaps KB2670838 is the only one I really need. Thanks and enjoy, John.

EDIT: I did not have any of these three updates when I installed IE10 in W7 in a VM.
EDIT: Hereis where I think you found the update information. It looks like I do not need KB2639308.

MagicAndre1981, ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I am running IE10 on a VM machine without Aero, so it looks a little different for IE9 but just fine to me - certainly not ugly to me. It does seem to work fine and is clearly faster than IE9. Enjoy, John.

In a VM the font rendering is better because they don't provide HW accelerated Direct2D.

Actually I found the info about the updates, inside the original IE10 Installer.
But I didn't know that MS had published a webpage about the required updates for IE10, so I've bookmarked that for the future, and thanks.

johnhc, would you mind telling me which (dism) commands you used for injection?
I did a quick install in a VM (Windows 7 SP1 x64), afterwards there are these new installer entries:

Windows Internet Explorer 10
Internet Explorer 10 de-DE Language Package
Microsoft Windows English Spelling Package
Microsoft Windows German Spelling Package
Microsoft Windows English Hyphenation Package
Microsoft Windows German Hyphenation Package

Plus:
KB2670838
KB2533623
KB2729094
KB2731771

I'm not so familiar with dism-ology, so any tip is appreciated...

DISM  /Add-Package /Image:%Mount% /PackagePath:"C:\Users\zz??zz\Desktop\Cabinet"

steven4554, for more details please see my post #6 above. You also need to mount the install.wim from the sources folder in your install media (DVD). There are several places to get good help on offline processing of Windows Images. Here in the W7 Unattended sub-forum and at WinCert forum (including videos). You will need to DL and install WAIK (Windows Automatic Installation Kit). What are "installer entries" and where do you see them - in Windows Update? I did not see any similar items perhaps because I use exclusively EN-US as was the IE10 installer. Enjoy, John.

[steven4554]

You first have extract the files from the original exe file using this code:-

IE10-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /x:c:\ie10

Then look for this file called SETUPDOWNLOADLIST.TXT, it lists all the updates needed for IE10, plus direct download links (except for the KB updates that is!)

Thanks for the tip John about DISM, but I know how to use this useful tool to integrate the updates into my offline images or to install online. But I'm sure the weblinks will come in handy for someone who doesn't know much about DISM

steven4554, OK got it, thanks. I have not tried it but I assume you can just place the IE10 cabinet file in the folder with your updates and let all inject in one step. Enjoy, John.

I don't know, I certainly hope so, there is nothing in the .mum files to indicate that you cannot integrate the updates and IE10, so it should work. I'll try integrating IE10 later tonight!

I really hope they restore the Stop button instead of retaining it, the Go, and the Refresh buttons as one...

Shortcut keys I know you can use in nearly any version of IE:-

Esc - Stop
F5 - Refresh
F4 - Address Bar
Enter - Go

That's all I know at the moment.
