64 bit Vista already has both 32 bit (in Program Files (x86)) and 64 bit (in
Program Files) versions of IE. Java plugins only work in the 32 bit one,
which is why we suggest only downloading the 32 bit JRE.

I have the same issue and I can locate the 32 bit IE files on my computer but
I can't get it to run, I would like to reinstall it from the IE7 site but
there does not appear to be a download option for Vista. My Vista Ultimate
was pre-installed with no discs supplied (as is the norm) so I don't have the
option of re-installing from disc. Any suggestions?
