I successfully installed Internet Explorer 7 (standalone) from this link http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone on Windows 7 and but got this error after opening it the first try.

The procedure entry point PathMatchSpecExW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll.

Restarting the computer, changing the compatibility to "Windows XP SP3" and running as Administrator didn't help.

After repairing my Windows XP Prof SP3 installation, I had an issue with my sound. There was no volume icon in the taskbar & I couldn't install Microsoft UAA and I found out none of HD audio/modem devices where recognized even after installation of the correct drivers from the motherboard manufacturer because of the wrong UAA.

This fix from http://www.boredsysadmin.com/2008/03/windows-xp-sp3-and-microsoft-hd-audio.html solved my issue.

If updating the UAA doesn't fix your issue, you may want to try this fix http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/No-audio-device/m-p/15874#M5711. It was instructed below.
