april Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 IE 9 for some reason does not include the version key in teh registery. To be precise, either it is not there or it gets removed when uninstalling some software with e.g.Wise Program uninstaller. To fix the problem simply one can type regedit in start->run and then go to: 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Internet Explorer, 2. go to menu Edit->New->String Value and name it Version , 3. click right mouse button on the new string key and select Modify, 4. type in the numbers from svcUpdateVersion key e.g. 9.0.6 (in my case). 5. close regedit, 6. restart Windows, and everything should be fine again. good luck! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
