Seems to be working great. One question: have you or anyone else had problems with this standalone version of IE7 conencting through a proxy server? IE7 seems to have gotten my settings from IE6, and I can view localhost, but can't seem to view anything at large. Just wondering if you had any thoughts or experience with this issue.

It just waits for 2 seconds so that IE7 gets the registry entries it is looking for. After two seconds the entries are deleted and you can start IE6 alongside.Vivek Jishtuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16622503044343820788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1145372146539960682006-04-18T20:25:00.000+05:302006-04-18T20:25:00.000+05:30How come IE6 and IE7 can run side by side just because it's a VBScript and not a batch file?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1143098361730284512006-03-23T12:49:00.000+05:302006-03-23T12:49:00.000+05:30Hi Michiel,<BR/><BR/>It looks like you have a spyware or a virus. This script just renames a file and removes a registry entry. You can try out the <A HREF="http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2006/02/02/437196.aspx" REL="nofollow">batch file</A> that does the same thing. The only reason to use this script is to get rid of the console window and run IE6 and IE7 side by side, other than that you can use the batch file if you like.Vivek Jishtuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16622503044343820788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1143054455658580482006-03-23T00:37:00.000+05:302006-03-23T00:37:00.000+05:30I don't know if my problems have been caused by the script but they are the following:<BR/>- sudden computer shutdowns<BR/>- crashes of windows<BR/>- IE7 could not connect to the internet, despite having the exact IE6 proxy and network settings<BR/>- all programs installed seemed to be 'run for the first time'.<BR/>- all network drive mappings had disappeared<BR/><BR/>IE7 BETA 1 was installed before and succesfully uninstalled before we followed your instructions meticulously.<BR/><BR/>We have Windows XP SP2michielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1142197625228316962006-03-13T02:37:00.000+05:302006-03-13T02:37:00.000+05:30By the way Vivek nice work!<BR/><BR/>Just a comment some people might find usefull.<BR/><BR/>If anyone has other IE standalone versions (IE5 IE5.5...) and has applied the hacks to fix the Conditional Comments as described in http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html might need to erase (from the script) the two lines that create and change the IE variable from the "Version Vector" key, since the script undoes the previous hacks. <BR/><BR/>My IE7 does not seem to complain by me erasing lines 35-36 and 49-50 from the script.GiorgosKontopouloshttp://geoland.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1142008764024790062006-03-10T22:09:00.000+05:302006-03-10T22:09:00.000+05:30The script doesn't open, the message is: deactivated windows host scripts - contact you admin (I am the admin of my pc) What's to do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1140502651047308222006-02-21T11:47:00.000+05:302006-02-21T11:47:00.000+05:30If you are on a somewhat slow machine change <B>WScript.Sleep 2000</B> to <B>WScript.Sleep 10000</B>.

I haven't noticed any terrible side effects of doing it this way. As a side note: I had to turn off virus script warnings & "allow script to run once." Furthermore, I had to run the script two times in order to get IE7 beta 2 to load all the way. Seems to be working fine for the moment.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now I just wish I had someway of UNINSTALLING IE7 Beta 1.Nathan Mallamacehttp://www.downdoggy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1140135705225777752006-02-17T05:51:00.000+05:302006-02-17T05:51:00.000+05:30Cool, Vivek.<BR/><BR/>I have a vague memory from a few years ago where people were disassociating the VBS file type with any WScript so VB viruses couldn't run easily. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I got it running here. Certainly more elegant than the batch file. Great work.Alex Walkerhttp://sitepoint.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1140066531598614532006-02-16T10:38:00.000+05:302006-02-16T10:38:00.000+05:301) Even in this script it waits for two seconds for IE7 to start before it performs the cleanup. If the cleanup occurs before IE7 starts up it will flash and then close down, something like if you double click iexplore.exe right now.<BR/><BR/>2) Since the script engine is built into the OS I really doubt people can turn it off that easily. Atleast I don't know a way of turning it off :), so I guess most people don't know how to turn it off.Vivek Jishtuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16622503044343820788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10412725.post-1140046224852633972006-02-16T05:00:00.000+05:302006-02-16T05:00:00.000+05:30Hi Vivek,<BR/><BR/>Nice work on the script. Seems like an improvement on the batch file, but I VBscript isn't my strong point, so I wanted to understand a little more about it before I linked to it.<BR/><BR/>Two questions. <BR/><BR/>1) From reading Jon's explanation, his original batch file hangs around after you close IE7 to perform some sort of clean-up function. Closing the batch file before IE7 gets you into trouble. Does your VBScript persist after IE7 launches? Does it need to? <BR/><BR/>2) Is it common for people to have the VBS file format disabled because of perceived virus concerns?Alex Walkernoreply@blogger.com
