I'm working in a corporate environment where the Win7 workstations are pretty locked down. Users are not allowed to do things via Control Panel / Programs.... nor to update their own systems.
But I need a way to re-install or repair IE8 when necessary. I'm wondering if there is a command that I can kick off (using admin privileges if needed, via our deployments) to repair IE8's install. That is, if it can be done via Control Panel / Programs .../"Turn Windows Features On or Off", then there surely must be an underlying command to perform the repair.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also please note that if I try to use the IEAK to design a deployment of IE8, it only applies settings and has absolutely no effect on the program files themselves. [I tested by renaming iexplore.exe, and the file was not replaced through any method that I tried to re-install IE8, except going via control panel as noted above.)
Thanks for any assistance.
