I selected to install IE7 so it installs the MSXML and Corefonts but choose the IE8 Installer.
It installs fine(I unchecked the install updates) and properly creates icons and all of that.
But when I start it icon comes up but no window or signs of progress.

then lots more errors that looks similar.
I don't know if IE7 throws the same stuff but if anyone wants a log file I'll post it up.
