How do I disable Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage Validation on my computer or otherwise avoid it?

Question

I want to install IE7. Each time I try to start it, I get an answer "Validation check failed" or similar. Please help!

Answer 1

Well apparently you are using a pirated copy of Windows; you may be able to avoid downloading the genuine Validation Tool by unchecking it in the Windows Updates list, but there is no way you can install Internet Explorer 7.0 on a pirated copy of Windows. A lot of people are having this problem.

Answer 2

Ok, the following information I provide is for testing purposes I am not suggesting you to try installing IE7 on a pirated copy of windows.

If you want to test it however, you can download the dll provided in the sources and put it in the System32 folder in your Windows directory, and then IE7 will be installed.

As for the second file provided (also for testing purposes) could be used to avoid the windows genuine advantage validiation check by replacing the .dll and .inf given with the one already in your windows directory.
