#173542 - 2007-02-02 02:56 PM IE7 experiences
masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	So I activated a test group of PC's to install IE7 via WSUS. All of them now have problems, IE7 won't start at all, even when started without addons (no fuzzy addons installed either, jsut the regular Adobe Reader and Sun Java). The IE app flashes by and closes. Anyone with experience? _________________________ The tart is out there

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	The exact same issue happened to all of my 5 test PC's, so something must be seriously wrong. Perhaps the WSUS download was corrupted? Anyhow, I downloaded the standalone installer and installed that over the WSUS install on one of the PC's, and after that IE7 works. One strange notice about this was the the standalone installer didn't recognize any IE7 installation at all, not that I know if it should or not... _________________________ The tart is out there

Tabbed windows took some getting used to without closing the window - a few "Oh S!t" later and I learned to close just the tabs. We're blocking the IE7 install at work as it is not compatible with several home-grown HTTP-based apps. We're waiting for the next release of the app before we migrate over.

But no, no issues so far. Edited by Björn (2007-02-02 05:21 PM) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it? If it doesn't work - kix-it!

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	Some additional info I forgot to mention: My clients does not have administrative privs. My clients does not have the capability to download unsafe content off the Internet (controlled by IP-addresses). All running fully patched WinXP SP2 machines, almost all PC's are HP desktops. _________________________ The tart is out there

Did a quicksearch for any requirements regarding a push from wsus, but didn't come up with one. _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it? If it doesn't work - kix-it!

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	I don't think it has anything to do with WSUS. I did a small implementation with WSUS and did not have any problems besides the fact that I forgot to disable the popup blocker in a GPO on two systems that needed it. As said maybe the download in WSUS was fubar some reason. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	No, I haven't updated the GPO with IE7 policies yet. But I doubt that this would cause IE7 to crash. _________________________ The tart is out there

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Originally Posted By: Björn have you rebuilt your gpo for ie as well? I just made an extra GPO for IE7 settings. The IE7 GPO exists besides the IE6 GPO. For now it's just a small number of computers that have IE7. All others still have IE6 and therefore use the GPO we have for IE6. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Masken - try to fix a gpo for it, somehow I think you're missing a setting that it's expecting or something $;\)$ I'll almost spend some money on that guess $;\)$ Edited by Björn (2007-02-07 03:45 PM) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it?

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	@Björn, yes it's an idea, but the thing is I got IE7 working by using the standalone setup and install it over the WSUS install, after that it works. @pvds, you have to update the GPO with an updated inetres.adm. Ie, open the GPO with GPMC on a machine that has IE7 installed. Also, IE7 sets proxy settings per machine instead of per user: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555850 Anyhow, I've opened up a MS PSS case on this. So far nothing since the guy helping me is a real newbie... (you should see the dialogue.. it's scaring). Just waiting for next level support... I think it might have something to do with the WGA. $\:\/$ Funny thing is, http browsing through Windows Explorer works, lol $;\)$ _________________________ The tart is out there
