Hi,
is possible to install IE8 without removing IE7 and IE6 ?
Does the windows installer remove the previous versions or not ?
thanks

During installing new IE, It updates the older files. So, i don't think that the older version will work.
Re: IE8 installation
Hello
My personal recommendations include:
:hand: Install IE8 manually, not via Windows Update/Automatic Updates!!
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx
NB WinXP users: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. When you're prepared to install IE8, double-click on the saved file.
NB Vista users: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. When you're prepared to install IE8, right-click on the saved file and select Run as Administator.
=> Uninstall all third-party toolbars (e.g., Google; Yahoo; Windows Live) and third-party Windows Themes before installing IE8.
=> Close all open applications (i.e., anything with a taskbar icon) before installing or uninstalling IE8.
:hand: I would strongly recommend disabling your anti-virus application and any anti-spyware application's "system protections" (other than Defender) before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade. If you're running a third-party firewall, I would recommend disabling it and then enabling the Windows Firewall before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.
=> Do NOT use System Restore to remove/uninstall IE8; instead, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957700 . Should problems persist after uninstalling, then try System Resetore. NB: Norton users will need to see http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html .
NB WinXP users: Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8, then go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered. If a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Software Updates category on the left, install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.
NB Vista users: Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8, then check-in at Windows Update and install any critical security updates offered.

I currently have a pvr and have just bought a HD PVR despite the comments here :- . I only have one tv and dont wish to connect to any other tvs. Is the upgrade installation something i can do and what do i need to buy to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
