See: Beta IE7 Hotfix: Autodesk Design Review 2007 and Autodesk DWF Viewer 7.0

I tried Internet Explorer 7 RC1 & struck problems only resolved by a full System Restore;

See IE7 Is Coming... is it ready?

Scott has posted the background on why DWF Viewer/TrueView users should avoid Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 RC1.

Beyond the Paper: Autodesk DWF Viewer, Autodesk Design Review, and Autodesk DWG TrueView do not work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1


Beyond the Paper: Autodesk DWF Viewer, Autodesk Design Review, and Autodesk DWG TrueView do not work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1


Autodesk DWF Viewer, Autodesk Design Review, and Autodesk DWG TrueView are not compatible with the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. These three Autodesk applications use HTML as part of their menuing interfaces and are impacted by Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 operation. Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 and reverting to Internet Explorer 6 does not restore Autodesk functionality, because the supporting libraries from the Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate are left in place.

UPDATE 15–10–2006: Should you want to block the IE7 Auto-Update Microsoft have a toolkit;

Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 7
The Internet Explorer 7 Blocker Toolkit enables IT Administrators to disable automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates and the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites.
