Re: XP SP3 and IE6, IE7 and IE8 (Beta) - Important Information
What happens when you are running IE7 and attempt a Windows Repair Install without first reverting to IE6?
Likewise what happens when you run SFC /SCANNOW?
Would these routines also replace some of the IE7 files with older IE6 ones creating a mess?
Thank you very much for the helpful information.

| The way I understood it, if you running IE7 (and applied sp3) an attempt repair will work fine because IE7 can't be removed and therefore pre SP3 IE6 file can't be restored
This only affects people who wish to replace, for whatever reason, IE6 with IE7

SFC /Scannow is accomodated without issue. It was not a problem for SP2 with IE7 installed either. Remember that in the main the files that get replaced come from the DLLCache, or $Mig$, and not the CD, even though it will likely prompt for it.
XP "hordes" backups of its critical system files. |

Cudni,
That is not clear at all that your case will prove true. If so I will write it up.
But it was decidedly not the case for XP SP2. You ended up with a non-working mix of IE versions because the reversion was not done prior to the in-place upgrade. In the XP SP2 case the reversion to IE6 files were perfectly accessible, just not used. It is exactly that scenario that I discuss above:
