I dwnld Internet Explorer Beta 3 from www.softpedia.com...It was a compressed SFX archive...I extracted the archive using winrar to a separate folder and not the default folder where the previous Internet Explorer was installed...Then i wen to the folder where it was extracted...There i got a folder called "UPDATE".i clicked on it and inside i found a file called "Update.exe"...I clicked on it and it started updating my previous version of IE....50% of progress happened and then it discontinued...i waited for 90 min and still there was no progress...i just closed it and again tried clicking the file Update.exe...this time also i got the same result...Due to this IE is screwd and it doesnt open...I have no probs coz i use firefox but how do i solve this problem...I got the new icon of Internet Explorer Beta 3 but it doesnt open coz the installation didnt progress...

You dont need to extract it. Just double click and the installation will begin.

Yeah its a cabinet file named "IE7BETA3-WindowsXP-x86-enu". U might have set winrar to open cabinet files. Just run the file directly... and it should work.

@rakeshishere
I just suggested u download from microsoft.com if u have genuine windows.
