C# WebBrowser control with uninstalled IE (?)

I want to use WebBrowser control to load some localfile html page. I am aware that WebBrowser is just a wrapper around the InternetExplorer. As I remember Microsoft allowed users in Vista (?) to "uninstall" the InternetExplorer...

The question is: Does WebBrowser runs smoothly with InternetExplorer uninstalled ? Does this uninstall do not affect DLL responsible for webpage rendering ?

I would apprecieate any input on this matter :)!

I know this has already been answered, but I think its worth to note:

The WebBrowser control provides a wrapper around the HTTP stack and the trident rendering engine. This is independent of Internet Explorer, which essentially is a shell around this same set of technologies. When you uninstall IE, you are not uninstalling Trident (MSHTML).

Yes it does. 'Uninstalling' IE has no effect on this component.
