| | UAC treats iexplorer.exe (ie 7.0) as an unidentified publisher I installed Vista Ultimate over XP Pro. Now Vista User Access Control prompts me for permission whenever I (or any application) tries to launch internet explorer 7.0, which had been previously installed as an update in XP Pro. Is this a normal condition with Vista? Is there a problem with the UAC settings? I suspect some an installation issue because Vista does not recognize ie7.0 as an identified publisher. This is a real headache beacuse many progams that try to launch ie for activation or updates can't complete their connection to the internet. I can manually launch ie by right clicking it and running as an administrator so there is no issue with ie itself, just the way Vista treats it. But of all programs why would Vista prompt approval of ie? There is some installation problem here? Any suggestions? |

It did not update the XP version but the UUID is not correct for the Vista version. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens.Â*Â* --Schiller |

| | Re: UAC treats iexplorer.exe (ie 7.0) as an unidentified publisher Thanks much. I haven't had a chance to try this yet but I will this weekend. Are there any tricks to reinstalling ie from the Vista DVD? I was not aware that I could selectively reinstall ie. In fact, other bulliten board postings have indicated that ie is an intregral part of Vista and cannot be uninstalled so I assumed it could not be reinstalled. Have you reinstalled ie from the Vista DVD yourself? Anything to be aware of? "joseph2k" wrote: > Kevin wrote: > > > I installed Vista Ultimate over XP Pro.

My vista install is full-clean (blank disk). Also ie7 is available as a separate download for XP. Integrated, yes; completely non-removable, not up to XP, it is removable there. It may not be separately re-installable, you may have to update/upgrade re-install. I guess i will have to try IE7 some more, i put firefox on my vista and never looked back. -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens.Â*Â* --Schiller |
