Does it work by faking an IE8 install (version, registry, etc.).

I have some success with using the IE7 script. But I get:

  fixme:service:svcctl_CreateServiceW Dependencies not supported yet
  CreateService SUCCESS.
  err:rpc:I_RpcReceive we got fault packet with status 0x3e6
  CreateService: Failed to set Service description. Error: 0x3e6

on install, it does not want to connect to a web page (it is forever
stuck on showing "Connecting..."), and does not want to close:

  err:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken Unhandled Token Information class 18!
  err:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken Unhandled Token Information class 18!
  err:ntdll:NtQueryInformationToken Unhandled Token Information class 18!
  fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x13dd7d8, 0x13dd3d8, 1024, 0x0): stub
  fixme:storage:PropertyStorage_WritePropertyToStream unsupported type: 72
  fixme:storage:PropertyStorage_WritePropertyToStream unsupported type: 72

It also produces a load of err and fixme traces on startup and while running.
