BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Jul 30, 2015 #151 OK, now for the IE11 again but I want to capture a trace while we do it. Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace 1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps. 2. Go ahead and attempt to install IE11 from the downloaded version just like you have in the past. 3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as the install fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below. 4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine. 5. Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log.

BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Jul 30, 2015 #153 Did you get any error installing IE11?
C ChrisLawn Well-known member Joined Jul 18, 2015 Posts 98 Jul 30, 2015 #154 No but it seemed to come close to installing.
BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Jul 30, 2015 #155 I see no errors at all in your logs which is odd. I assume when you open IE it doesn't open correct? Also, if you navigate to the following file again and right-click on it and select properties and go to the Details tab, does it show version 11? c:\windows\system32\ieframe.dll

BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Jul 30, 2015 #157 Since your intention is to update to Windows 10, I wonder if we try that if it will magically fix your IE issues. Or will it say it can't be installed because you don't have IE11? When were you planning on trying to go to Windows 10? I just downloaded it and installed it to all my machines instead of waiting for the notification to upgrade. Windows 10 If you don't want to try that then we can go a different direction. Just let me know. Thanks.
