Windows Internet Explorer 10 PP2 Unlocked for Vista

[maxtorix]

Windows Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 2 (PP2) was locked for Windows 7 and if you try to install on any earlier system you get an error message.

I have successfully unlock IE10 PP2 for Windows Vista SP2.
Now only prerequisites for installing are:

You must have installed Platform Update and Internet Explorer 8 or 9(recommended) for Vista.

Future plans:
Retrieve Platform Preview 3 from Windows 8 DP, and ported back to Windows 7 and Vista.

Well, what have you done to get this working?, only interested .

With Platform Update and SP2 installed Vista is pretty similar to Windows 7 under the hood. So I imagine it didn't take that much work. We'll have to see if Microsoft creates any Windows 7+ dependencies by the time IE10 is ready, because the Platform Preview at this point isn't much different from IE9.

IE is a core component of Windows, platform previews leave that part of being IE alone. I'd be shocked if this could be so easily done with a full replacement version of IE.

It's an MSI installer right? Removing the check for Windows 7 using an MSI table editor like Orca should do the trick. Sadly, we wouldn't be able to get the final version of IE10 to install like this on Windows Vista.

It's work great on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1:



But IE 10.0.8102.0 don't work on Windows 7 (because there is not IsImmersiveProcess in USER32.DLL (windows error)).

IE10 PP2 comes with native support for Windows 7.
