Hey guys, I downloaded the Windows 7 ISO from the sticky thread on this forum. Everything has been working great with my SLIC modified bios. When I tried to install the RC of IE9, I get this error: Internet Explorer isn't supported on pre-release versions of Windows 7. Please upgrade to a released version. Why would that be? Anyway to fix this? Thanks!
Where did you get IE9 RC from? Sounds fishy coming that you downloaded a clean ISO from one of the links here, I trust them not to fool people.
I think I may have found out what happened. I am unfortunately running Win7 16384 and not 16385. Any way to modify the system to trick it into thinking its on 16385 without a complete re-install?
There's an article that tells you how to trick the 7 installer into "upgrading" an RC to RTM but otherwise, it's foolish to even run the RC... how did you even get that???
I'd go with a fresh install of 7601.17514 - that is, the final of Windows 7 SP1. Tricking the system in to thinking it is a different version than it really is isn't a good thing, and may lead to problems.
On second thought, I must have used the wrong disc which had version 16384. That version was widely available on the internet prior to release 16385. Therefore, I did NOT get it from any links on this website. I will do a fresh install of Win7 SP1. Thanks for your help guys.
I suggest throwing that disc away, since it is now useless unless you like collecting betas like some people do... if that is the case, put it somewhere else!
