cannot install internet explorer 6?

X-post to WinME General.

If he'd (1) installed IE6 and then (2) reinstalled WinME without first
having (3) uninstalled IE6, he's now gotten himself into what the WinME pros
call "version soup".

Here's MVP Noel Paton's fix: http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm

My partner's computer runs under Windows ME, and last week we
reinstalled it after trouble with the modem (the modem had to be
replaced, but before we found that out, we had reinstalled windows from
the install cd). When we did this, we got ie5.5 back. Wanting to go back
to ie6, the install fails; Help just says the files are correct but the
installation fails. We've tried windows update, and also downloaded the
complete setup (ie service pack 1) from Microsoft. It downloads OK, then
starts the installation, and exits at over 90%. We had installed this
before, and then it went fine. What can be the matter, and how can I fix
it? Thanks in advance.
