Manual Uninstall of Internet Explorer 7 [You may need this too!!]

Remember for Beta 1 you need to click on show updates to see the IE 7 uninstall entry in add/remove programs.

For Beta 2 & later you can see the IE 7 uninstall entry as a standalone entry, no show updates required here.

If you dont see the uninstall entires even after following the above steps then do the following -
  • Go to Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View - Enable the Show Hidden Files and Folders.
  • Go to Start Menu/Run paste the following code & press enter(check the exact path in your windows folder)
    • %windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.e xe
      OR
    • %windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2$\spuninst\spuninst.ex e
      OR
    • %windir%\ie7beta3\spuninst\spuninst.exe
  • One other way to do is to manually navigate to the path shown above and click on spuninst.exe.
