LOL, I'm sure nobody took that seriously! It made me laugh. Did you create that image yourself, or get it off of ResExcellence?

VISE-less install?

Can it be gotten straight from the installer as a single executable package? I keep a lot of stuff going and arranged 'just so', and only log out or reboot monthly. And even more than that, I don't want to have to reset a bunch of prefs, which the probably do because the more people complain about it, the more it gets out there to the masses that software installation on the Mac isn't always as totally painless as they might have heard.

I only keep IE on this machine so that my girlfriend can come over and flush the detritus from her Notmail account every other day, and also testing the occasional web page.

But I swear, that's all I *ever* use it for. I never, ever, ever, do anything else with it, not even a little bit.

Okay, I do need it to access my bank's web interface. But that's really it! I promise! (Well, aside from eTrade, that is.)

Of course, I haven't tried those things since I moved from Mozilla to Chimera last month. I know they're not gonna work, but here I go, with the slightest glimmer of hope in my eye...

If you encounter a misconfigured VISE installer you can bypass the stupidity by using AppleScript like:

tell application "badly configured installer" to doinstall

It will install without quitting the apps.

As for Explorer itself the primary reason it's faster is probably due to fiddling with the event handling which was tuned for MacOS. Unfortunately it appears they are still using the Event Manager instead of Carbon events. This means polling and other evils which leads to using idle CPU and less responsiveness.

Unfortunately all other browsers suck, they have horrible interfaces! Explorer is the only browser to get drag+drop right.

How embarassing.

I tried the above but I got the following error. "The application 'Install Internet Explorer' got an error: Connection is invalid" The error is highlighted at "doinstall" in the applescript.
