Problem:

Net Express 3.1 does not support Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), so installing Net Expres 3.1 on a machine that already has IE7 installed will result to an error about the IE version. How to ignore or skip the IE version check?

Resolution:

NOTE: It is not recommended to ignore or skip the IE version check if you will be developing web applications with Net Express 3.1. Net Express 3.1's Form Designer supports IE5 and IE6 only. If you will be developing web applications, you can either remove IE7 and install IE6 instead or upgrade Net Express to the latest version, which is now v5.0.

Having read the above, here are the steps allowing you to install Net Express 3.1 without having the setup to check for the IE version:

1. copy wrapper.ini from the Net Express CD to your local drive, e.g. C:\\

2. edit C:\\wrapper.ini with a text editor

3. search for "checkie"  --> this should find CheckIE5OrAbove

4. delete the whole line

5. save wrapper.ini

6. go to Start | Run

7. type in the command: [CD-Drive]:\\setup /ini=c:\\wrapper.ini

8. click OK
