Can I force windows installer to install without passing ie check?
I have an old application that I am trying to reinstall on a windows xp computer. The xp machine has Internet Explorer 8 installed. However, when I try to install the software, it returns a message stating that IE 4.02+ must be installed and then it aborts the install. Obviously, 8 is a greater version number than 4.02, but it just won't install. I know the software is compatable, because it is running on another computer with the same hardware/software. But when it was oroginally installed, xp SP1 wasn't even out yet. Since then, the computers' software has all been updated and now I can't install this old application on a fully updated system.
The application will work on the computer, but I can't figure out how to make it force the install even though the criteria "isn't met" (which it is, it's just that the old installer doesn't detect it properly). Thanks for your help!

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
