I have a server that had IE10(?) on it, which wasn't working with an app, so somebody uninstalled it. Instead of reverting back to an earlier version of IE, it has completely removed it from the server. This occurred before my involvement.
I have downloaded the x64 IE8 install from MS, but it won't allow me to install, I get the error "Internet Explorer 8 is not supported on this operating system". If I download x64 IE10 it will install fine, but this version is not compatible with
the other app that caused the original problem. Bottom line: it HAS to be IE8.
None of the below have worked for me:
Booting into clean mode then running the install - no difference
Running this command to restore the default security settings: secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose - no difference
Running the command to enable the IE feature: dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64 - return error is "Feature name Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64 is unknown"
I may have tried some other stuff but the repeated banging of my head against the wall has affected my memory.
Does anyone have a clue on how I can get IE8 installed onto this server?
Thanks in advance!
