However, if you do a fresh install of Windows 7, it will typically include MSHTML 8 (and Internet Explorer 8). To get MSHTML 11, you will need to update to Internet Explorer 11. You can then remove IE because WinSetView only needs the updated browser engine and not the browser itself. WinSetView also requires .Net 4.8 which is likely already installed. + +**Note**: If you just built a Windows 7 machine and can't open most websites, use [Legacy Update](https://legacyupdate.net/) to get crucial updates. + +Here are the steps to update **Windows 7 (64 bit)**: + +1. If you don't already have .Net 4.8, download and install it from [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-net-framework-4-8-offline-installer-for-windows-9d23f658-3b97-68ab-d013-aa3c3e7495e0). + + +2.

That will remove all of the IE folder except for `ieproxy.dll` and possibly `sqmapi.dll`. \ No newline at end of file
