How can I downgrade from IE8 to IE7?

Question

How can I downgrade from IE8 to IE7 on Vista?

I want to downgrade because my Flex Builder does not correctly close the browser when debugging Flex Applications. I'm sure this may be fixed in some future release of Flex Builder or IE8, but for now, I'd like to downgrade in order to debug more effeciently.

Answer 1

I am suggesting a standalone IE7 as an option. See if you can use your flex builder with this.

Answer 2

You can remove updates in the "Uninstall program" dialog. In the task pane on the left is a link to installed updates where you can uninstall "Windows Internet Explorer 8".

Answer 3

Here's how you uninstall it, in either Vista or XP. Go to Start > Run, and then type in (carefully), the following line:

%windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe

Yet another option, just click the "Fix it" button on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700/en-us

Answer 5

I have already downgraded to IE7 for the same reason; however, I now see the same problem happening in IE7 when I didn't see it happening before.
