IE 7 Beta 2: Installation
Internet Explorer 7 beta 2 has been released for public consumption; you can download it yourself from Microsoft. Installation of the ~11MB installer is relatively easy, with three points of interest:
- Windows Genuine Advantage Validation: You are required to validate your copy of windows to install IE7b2 on your computer, which is annoying at best, and a showstopper at worst.
- Microsoft Malware Tool: Microsoft runs their malware removal toolkit before installation to assure that your components are fresh and easy to use. Now you can’t blame IE7b2 because of lingering exploited flaws in an earlier release.
- A new look for the installer, pictured below.
Here is a screenshot of the new themed installer in progress:
Of course, at the end of installation, you are “required” to restart your computer.
