IE 7 Beta on Win XP SP2 looking like it's on Win Vista

[vij26]

Tools needed: ResHacker(http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/)

1. Backup the file"ieframe.dll",which is located "C:\WINDOWS\system32" .
2.Open the file with REsHacker "ieframe.dll" and navigate in the treestructure like this : UIFILE > 20481 and open the area "1033".
3.At the starting of the XML-file you will find, as Attribut from "element", the Attribut "style". Here change the value "styleXP" to "styleLH".
4.Save the changes and make the same with the file "ieframe.dll" which is located in dllcache.
5. Start the Internet Explorer7! Finished!

I didnt find ne special change in both except the Tab bar color?

So u mean there is no URL to d/l IE 7 BETA?

ya ie7 is avlbl for download to select. perhaps it may not be appropriate to post the link here. tell u what do a google search; u'l get the link. but u'l need a 'genuine' windows to install it.

I got a link to download the IE7 BETA.
Its like a windows update of size 10.06 MB.
But was no successful to install it cauz it said: Invalid product key.
Wonder I can install SP2 and all other security updates (26 approx.) without ne problem then why not IE7 BETA?

[vij26]

Maybe there are more Hacks...
I must search over the internet

I managed to install IE 7 BETA on my comp.
Even I got the trick to run IE 7 without installing it along with IE 6.
Don't know whether I should provide the procedure & link here or not?
