Explorer 6 update

And adding on...

If running WMP9, uninstall BEFORE reinstalling WinME.

Yes it will, but the suggestion was not to use it to simply get rid of IE
for good, it was to use it to try to fix the problems caused by
reinstalling ME without first removing IE6. After using it the user could
have reinstalled ME succesfully and then done the updates. Your
suggestion appears to have fixed the problem so there is no need to use
IEradicator.

A quick note if anyone reads this:

IERadicator will ruin WinME and System Restore.

Usually there are other options available to solve IE problems in WinME.

Thank you. I would have followed your suggestion, but I first tried the
method suggested by OOPS below, which seemed to be a little less drastic.
The installation was successful and there was not need for the
IEradicator.

What you have now is a fine mess! An Internet Explorer version 5 and 6
soup mix that is next to imposible to repair without a complete format
and reinstall of Windows ME.

You can try http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html to completely remove
IE and then see if you can install IE from scratch again, or reinstall
ME after you IEradicate it.

Or at least rename wmploc.dll to wmploc.old or similar.

I know this is a very old thread, but it needs one addition. When
reinstalling IE6 with SP1 it will be necessary to use Windows Update to
download the security updates because they were lost with the uninstall.

regarding the same problem, which did not work for me. I think this one
worked because, while having Windows Update open, I first moved the old IE
info into a separate folder and then attempted the download.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

Update IE6 again and you should be able to install all the troublesome

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall"

Yes, you will have to check-in at Windows Update to get IE fully-patched
after reinstalling IE6 SP1.

Did you (a) uninstall IE6 and then (b) reinstall WinME?

If you consider the fact that support for WinME ended on 10 July 2006, it
may be the Windows version that's outdated.
