Microsoft provides a command line blocking tool that can be downloaded from here
Or you can download and install our free IE blocking tools:
For your local computer
Or download our tool that can update remote computers
Alternatively you can simply create a registry key that will block the install. It is located under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0
The key name is: DoNotAllowIE70
Setting this to 1 blocks the install, setting to 0 allows the install.
Only Windows 2003, and XP users need to worry about this automatic install - since IE 7 is not compatible with 98, ME, or 2000
