How do I uninstall IE7 beta2 that came with Vista beta2?
Bob--
Some people would say the state of the art way to fix IE would be to download Firefox and get the O'Reilly book Firefox Hacks. Everyone who boots a Windoz OS owes it to themselves to see how a browser with a ton more imgaination than the IE team has and many more options works. I don't think you can compare the range of possibilities that Firefox offers with the rather plodding mundane features of IE--but it ususally works pretty well in Vista. It's just that MSFT has kind of forgotten to fix the IE fixer that was a bulwark of fixin' in XP--SFC. Maybe someone'll drop a dime on them to fix it before they ship the thing.

I do not know why you want to uninstall (and you can't as Jane said and distinguished well from stand alone). As to stand alones which now that Vista is public most people who aren't deeper into IE features won't be using, the IE team blog has very good instructions if it won't uninstall from Add/Remove. Add/Remove is I think a program somehow the boys and girls at Redmond either forget to look at for years or else can't figure out how to make much better. It's does a very sloppy incomplete job of bussing the Windows table.
So as most of the time here, going to guess. You want to "uninstall IE7" that's tightly bound to Vista, Windows Explorer, OE and believe it or not Outlook although most people never think of it in that way because it's not working?
Ordinarily I'd recommend that you run SFC but alas alas another program that has the girls and boys at Redmodn all befrigged is SFC. I guess the Core File Systems team owns that sucker but who knows? Nobody ever writes about it in Vista but almost every switch doesn't work in ole B2 or the the CTP sequels they give people who keep going "Hey kin we have another one?"
Maybe mailing them one of those big greeting cards "Hey Yo don't forget to make SFC before you ship the half broken OS" would help them.
The more builds the less the switches in SFC work. Some kind of perverse inverse Redmond proportion goin' on there.
Bob running this batch file per instructions should get your IE running. I'm even going to guess what you see. I think your *shell is not able to load *and IE is much bad corrupted.
To fix IE in Vista follow this article:
Internet Explorer is corrupted… how do I fix it? http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Internet-Explorer-corrupted-fix.html
I have a tip though to get your browser running while you're making the little batch file in this article: Right click the cute lil "e" on the taskbar over in the "quick start hood" and then left click run as elevated. I bet you can surf just fine then. What you'll have to do unitil you repair IE with the instructions I gave you is that you put all your urls in an IE window that comes from there and just use tabs and you'll be able to surf fine.
I think you can fix IE this way.
Also worth a try is to use Win RE's startup repair. It's very easy to use. You just pop in the Vista DVD and reboot (making sure you've configured bios setup to boot from the DVD). Here's the step by step--you might try this first because it's fast and if it doesn't work then try the link I gave you above.
If you have a Vista DVD, there is a promising "feature" or utility in Vista called Win RE or Windows Recovery Environment.
***Accessing Windows RE (Repair Environment):***
1) Insert Media into PC (the DVD you burned)
2) ***You will see on the Vista logo setup screen after lang. options in the lower left corner, a link called "System Recovery Options."***
3) Select your OS for repair.
4) Its been my experience that you can see some causes of the crash from theWin RE feature:
You'll have a choice there of using:
1) Startup Repair 2) System Restore 3) Complete PC Restore
Good luck,
CH

Nice goin' USA--you have forged a solid Shiite Fanatic Fundamentalist Crescent from Damascus to Gaza and as usual while "All hat no Cattle lil George sits in the corner drooling, Israel has the Kohonas to clean up part of the Axis of Terrorist Evil that you can't.
"Propotional response" LOL--Gee I wonder how "proportional" it's be if those Katyushas were sailin' into D.C., NYC, Miami, Seattle, and Houston. I know most Americans don't read newspapers but those missles have been sailing into Israel every day for 4 years. The CNN barbie dolls think they just got there 2 weeks ago.
Great job on the embryonic stems Georgie--you never run out of ways to kill Americans in droves.

You don't uninstall it. But you can install another browser and set it as your default in the Default Programs page (type 'default' in the Start Search box).
