Download Internet Explorer 7 without Validation

There are many reasons to want to use Internet Explorer 7. One of the best reasons, is that it is up to date, whereas Internet Explorer 6 is very old. The new version of IE is very nice and worth the upgrade. To install Internet Explorer, one must validate his copy of Windows. But who cares and who goes for genuine copy of any software today? :) Though there may be various ways to bypass the validation check but probably this the simplest.
Warning! This post is only to be used for educational purposes. In other words, I am in no way at all condoning the use of illegal copies of Microsoft Windows XP. This post is not about piracy. It is only a demonstration, strictly for the purposes of education.
  1. The first thing to do is to download the Internet Explorer 7 executable. Download Here.
  2. Download and install Winrar (no need if you already have it installed).
  3. Right-click on the file that you downloaded named IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe and select extract to IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.
  4. Download this patch named iecustom.dll.
  5. Open the IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu folder that you just created and open the update folder inside it.
  6. You are going to copy the patch named iecustom.dll that you downloaded to the update folder. When it asks to overwrite, choose yes.
  7. Next, download normaliz.exe.
  8. Then copy and paste this to C:/.
  9. Go back into the update folder IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu\update.
  10. Run update.exe.
  11. Let it update Internet Explorer.
  12. At the end of the update, check the box that says restart later.
  13. Download normaliz.dll.
  14. Copy and paste this to c:\windows\system32\.
  15. Reboot.
  16. If you have a problem with your desktop looking blank, there is a reason for it. It is because the normaliz.dll file is not being recognized by explorer.exe. If you don’t have this problem, then you may proceed to step 17. If you do have this problem, you must do the following in this exact order.
  • Open the task manager (alt+ctrl+del).
  • Open file–>new task.
  • Type C:\normaliz.exe and press OK.
  • When the Winzip self-extractor window pops up, click unzip.
  • Reboot.
  • When you login your desktop will be normal again.
17. Open the same update folder. Run xmllitesetup.exe Reboot. Internet Explorer 7 has now be installed on your PC without validation. For any help plzz reply.
Trust me, this works! Enjoy!
