Lost I.E.

[ChuckR]

During cleanup, I removed Windows 7 Professional(64bit) I.E.. This also killed Windows Media Player. I do have VLC as a backup. I tried 2 different downloads of I.E. 11 and both wouldn't install. No Error messages. Just said it failed to install.
I tried EIE11_EN-US_WOL_WIN764
And IE11-Windows6.1

Any suggestions, or should I just not worry and stay with FireFox and Chrome?

Have you tried this one:
EIE11_EN-US_MCM_WIN764.EXE
https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/9/4/29413F94-2ACF-496A-AD9C-8F43598510B7/EIE11_EN-US_MCM_WIN764.EXE

I just tried it and got the same results. Install stopped and Windows is looking for a fix.

You can always try System Restore (before cleaning ie11), to restore your system to state before the cleaning, then try to uninstall ie11 en install it again.

Before I get that deep, I am going to try and install under SAFE.

I had this happen to me, and it drove me batty trying to get it straightened out. I would have ignored it if it weren't for the fact that I can only log into a site required for my work using IE. I'm trying to remember how I finally got it working. I seem to remember having to delete a registry entry and a second file from MS being involved. If it comes to me I will post it.

Try this (watch video) first:

I'm kinda wishing you knew how you did it. I could live with IE never being on my machine again...lol

Wish I had an answer, but hopefully Smiki's video will help!

Good Luck.

I looked at the video and went to Windows Features and Internet Explorer is not listed.

Is it possible to Re-Install IE from the Windows 7 Disk?

[calemus]

yes

control pnael> programs & features> turn windows features on or off

but honestly your only doing yourself wrong using IE

when i install windows that is at the TOP of the list of things i UNINSTALL

all of windows is evil.
the windows to the internetz with thier viewers aint no different

Additional Problem is that "HELP and Support" in the START menu WILL NOT WORK. It says to visit a Windows Website but won't even connect to it or supply a full website.

Save what ever you need on an external and reinstall the OS

I am in a move and CAN'T find the disk that was used to build my machine by another party.
The words I AM SCREWED come to mind.

I wonder if it is time to let Microsoft install Windows 10
