I really do. Beta 2, has a couple of minor annoyances on my machine, so I was happy to see Beta 3 out. The problem is I can't install it. When the installation runs, it says the program is already install, remove the existing program using ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in the CONTROL PANEL. Uninstall IE, that is worth a few jokes itself. I tried removing it from Windows components and installing that, but no go. Ideas?
 
After posting I found this on MS site

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 1

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 1 and return to Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

Click "Start", and then click "Control Panel"
Click "Add or Remove Programs"
Scroll down to "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2" or "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview", select it, and then click "Change/Remove".
If not found, check "Show Updates" at the top of the dialog box, scroll down the list to "Windows XP - Software Updates", select "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview" or "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1" and then click "Change/Remove".
If you cannot find any Internet Explorer 7 entry in "Add or Remove Programs", try running these commands. Each is for a different release of Internet Explorer 7 so only one will succeed.

%windir%\$NtUninstallie7beta1$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. (To do this, you need to have "view hidden folders" enabled.)
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. (To do this, you need to have "view hidden folders" enabled.)
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7b2pmx$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. (To do this, you need to have "view hidden folders" enabled.)
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7beta2$\spuninst\spuninst.exe. (To do this, you need to have "view hidden folders" enabled.)
