Warning: The retired, out-of-support Internet Explorer 11 desktop application has been permanently disabled through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. For more information, see Internet Explorer 11 desktop app retirement FAQ.
Symptoms
You install Windows Internet Explorer 7 on a computer that is running Windows XP, Windows server 2003, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. In this situation, some applications that use the Ieframe.dll module do not work.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Ieframe.dll module has a delay-load dependency on the Dwmapi.dll module. The behavior is caused by a call to the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea function. Windows XP does not have the Dwmapi.dll module. Additionally, the Ieframe.dll module does not load on embedded platforms unless a Dwmapi.dll module exists that the Ieframe.dll module can rely on.
