IE8 installed, but script opens an IE6 browser

  • Follow


Hi all,

I'm having a strange issue where any scripted call to open Internet Explorer 
tries to open IE6, even though I have IE8 installed. For example, with the 
following script:

Dim ie
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
ie.Visible=True
ie.Navigate "http://www.yahoo.com"

I'll see an IE6 browser open with a blank page...then an IE8 browser opens, 
and navigates to Yahoo. Using IE8 manually works perfectly...however I also 
have an issue where Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update also launches an 
IE6 browser.

This is on XP SP3, fully up-to-date. I do believe there is something screwy 
going on with my IE installation, but I haven't the slightest idea as to what 
that might be. (I've uninstalled and re-installed IE8, tried IE7, no luck...)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
