Internet Explorer 10 fails to install

As I am still running Windows 7 simply due to the lack of time to update my main computer, beeing able to update to to Internet Explorer 10 was simply a great opportunity to improve my experience on browsing the web. Unfortunately the installation experience failed miserably. The install wizard looped through in no-time at all, restarted Internet Explorer. No error, unfortunately – no Internet Explorer 10 either.

To customize the experience for deploying it to an enterprise you can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit. A more detailed explanation of howto provide it via an image is also available via Technet.

Lets continue with the installation issue… first of all, I  verified that all prerequisites were installed. This could easily be done by visiting a already available knowledgebase article that states all the prerequisites and provides easy to access links for all of them. Unfortunately this did not alter the behavior in anyway and the next article up is Troubleshooting a failed installation of Internet Explorer 10. The article did provide some general insights, but none of the steps did provide any alteration of the behavior – it seems to more provide content with an end-user in mind then an IT administrator. There, lets review the Technet article Troubleshooting Internet Explorer 10.

The following is listed in the article;

If Setup fails, you can troubleshoot errors by using the Setup log files:

  • IE10_main.log
  • IE10_NR_Setup.log
  • IE10_uninst.log
  • cbs*.log
  • WU_IE10_LangPacks.log

Great! Lets start digesting! I could only locate the IE10_main.log within C:\Windows

Here is a cut out of the log that seemed interesting;

Whats so special about the above? C:\Windows\sysnative is not a folder I have ever seen.

The first command-line looks like this;

00:03.214: ERROR:   Unable to create process ‘C:\Windows\SysNative\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Windows\TEMP\IE147AE.tmp\IE10-neutral.Extracted.cab /quiet /norestart’, errorID = 0x00000000 (0)

The above tells me;

  • It installs Internet Explorer 10 using DISM
  • It extracts all files necessary to a specific sub-folder within c:\windows\temp\
  • I can most likely install this on my own

I restarted the installer, located the temp-folder and extracted all the files. I simply copied the entire lot to c:\windows\temp to ease my next step. This is what the folder looks like;

I removed the c:\windows\sysnative and the sub-folder from temp to get the following commands;

dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Windows\TEMP\IE10-neutral.Extracted.cab /quiet /norestart

dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Windows\TEMP\Spelling_en\Windows6.2-KB2764916-x86.cab /quiet /norestart

dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Windows\TEMP\Hyphenation_en\Windows6.2-KB2764913-x86.cab /quiet /norestart

The packages installed and after a reboot – finally!

    Hi, you are the first person I have found to post the issue I am seeing (albeit with a different error) and hope you can help.

    I have W7 and all the necessary updates and everytime I install IE10 IE is no longer visible in any app list or start menu? If I type iexplore at run window on the start menu it states something along the lines of “tried to run application at incorrect memory address”

    Basically IE 10 is not there. It’s like it just got rid of the IE 9 aplication but left it on disk. When I search for IE I find what looks like the old code in the usual C:\programs\internet explorer folder (nothing looks new). I windows features and it states IE10 is installed and the installation didn’t throw up any errors.

    I’d love to use IE10 but just can’t. I live in Australia and notice when I go to windows.com it takes me to the US site to install (just mentioning this in case it is relevant).

    A few extra pieces of information for you. When I first tried to install IE10 it stated “a newer version of IE is already installed”. This is probably when I had the same problem installing the pre-release version even though I uninstalled it last time and was happily running IE9!? So I turned it off in windows features and started a new install yesterday. Please find below the errors in ie10_main.log.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

      Hello,
      The installation above doesn’t indicate any error, and the errors you are describing are not similar at all to the issue I described. I suggest you repair your windows installation, especially since you had pre-release software installed on it.

    • nickekallen Post authorReply

      Hello,

      Your issue seems to not relate to anything that I experienced and you seem to have a completely different issue.

    I installed IE10 from the automatic updates.

    After rebooting, I launched IE10 and it crashed all the time.

    Message is A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

    I checked the event log and there is no entry.

    I have install IE 10 on my wifes PC and it works fine but I have more programs on my pc.

    The version is: Microsoft Corporation – Internet Explorer Version 10.00.9200.16521

    I have Win7 64-bit SP1 with all updates using Intel CORE DUO.

    Here is the IE10_main.log

    Wow. I can see that you put in a huge amount of effort to progress this error situation and did everything in a logical sequence.

    My only negative comment is “why?”

    I’m a computer “user”. I don’t interfere with the operating system and protect my installation with proprietary antivirus/internet security. I just want to use my PC to connect to the internet. I don’t want a hobby as a part-time investigative software engineer and I feel very strongly that this situation is utterly disgraceful. Microsoft took all our money and for the license fees paid I expect to simply run the update program and move forward. If the update fails, there should be a straightforward instruction given to correct the situation not the belligerent audacity of a vague error code followed by loads of “try this” troubleshooting options.

    I believe the product I purchased is simply not suitable for purpose.

    So that’s why I use Google Chrome!

      Well, this is my profession of choice. So why would be answered in that it assists me in becoming better at what I do every day. The reason for sharing it would be to assist others who also have the same profession.

      As perhaps have noticed – very few of the articles are directed towards and end-user. So it seems very odd that an end-user would take interest in the article.

    I have the following two errors. I have been trying for half a day now.. Please help!!

  8. onkon Reply

    Thanks for your steps, seems to be the most helpful out of everything on the net.

    I’m running the command dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:WindowsTEMPIE10-neutral.Extracted.cab as i was getting a ‘system cannot find the file specified’ when running with the quiet and no restart switches

    Output is:

    Processing 1 of 1 – Adding package Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-To
    pLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.2.9200.16521
    [===========================66.0%====== ]
    An error occurred – Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel Error: 0
    x80070002

    Error: 2

    The system cannot find the file specified.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log

    Had a quick look on the net but not seen anything to solve this.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

      Hello,
      It states that it can not find the file. Is the file you specified there?

    Hi,
    In your procedure, I saw you said:
    ———–
    I restarted the installer, located the temp-folder and extracted all the files. I simply copied the entire lot to c:windowstemp to ease my next step
    ———–

    Could you kindly tell me the detailed steps how to do this?

    Thank you very much.

    • nickekallen Post authorReply

      Hello,

      Is there any particular part that is causing issues? I would assume that finding c:windowstemp would not be an issue?

      • Bear Reply

        Hi,
        Thanks for your quickly reply.
        I do not know how to get the resources which you listed in your picture.

        If I launched the upgrade from windows update, the resources located c:/windows/temp are dynamic and I never see there is a file named *.cab there. I tried to uncompress the exe file of IE installation file but seems that is not I want.

        Then I problem is how to get all necessary files which you listed in your picture upon.

        BTW, IE 11 is available, did you have a chance to get a try on tis?

        Thank you

        • nickekallen Post authorReply

          Hello,
          You can sort the contents located in c:windowstemp by DATE. When sorting it by date, the folders and files created the last most likely are the ones you need.

          • Wes

            The install cleans the temp directory.

            02:45.424: INFO: Cleaning up temporary files in: C:WindowsTEMPIE920C9.tmp

            so how are you getting it to not do this step in order to run the install manually?

          • nickekallen Post author

            Hello,
            Usually I grab it during the attempted install.

  10. Ryan Kasper Reply

    I had to use these steps to get IE11 to be SCCM/CM12 deployable just like with IE10…

  11. Jacques Reply

    Just as an FYI, “SysNative” is a “pseudonym” for “System32”, for use by 32-bit processes running on a 64-bit platform that wish to access the “real” %SystemRoot%System32 (rather than be transparently redirected to “SysWow64”, the default system behavior). There is no folder actually named “SysNative” — the file system treats the name in a special way when it’s used by a 32-bit process.

    I had an issue with IE10 failing to install. Looked at the logs you suggested and it really helped me fix the issue. Thnx for the help!
