Re: Problems install IE7

[X-post to IE General]

Are you running an English-language version of WinXP or a Dutch-language
version?

Which was installed first, IE7 (English-language) or SP3?

Was the machine fully patched at Windows Update after you installed IE7 but
before you installed the IE7 MUI Pack?

I have checked at the service desk of my company that I'm running (as I
expected) the English-language version of XP extended with a Dutch
language-pack. SP3 was installed and all Windows updates were installed when
I installed IE7. The dutch version is rejected (during unpacking), so I
installed the english IE7.

It is not a problem to me anymore, I now understand that the dutch version
is rejected because the XP is english. The language packs for XP and for IE
make that the menus and dialogs are in Dutch om my machine.

Even if you were able to install the Dutch-language version somehow, it
would "automagically" be changed to the English-language version upon
installing any Cumulative Security Update for IE7.
