Can,t upgrade from IE 5.0 to IE 6.0 - PING Noel
Hi Al :-)
At this point you may have what MS MVP Noel Paton calls 'version soup', which means, you may now have a mix-up of the versions from your many unsuccessful attempts to install IE 6.0. ;-) I'm crossposting my reply to the microsoft.public.windowsme.general, where Noel is a regular responder, in the event he may wish to provide additional information on this. (Hi Noel! .....must be Saturday! vbg) You should first reinstall your version of E 5.0 to make sure that you are starting with a clean slate before attempting any more installs of the IE6. Here are some sites that will provide information on how to repair your IE, and how to install the IE6. How Do I Install/Uninstall IE? http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q318378 The Internet Explorer Repair Tool http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers_5.htm#repair_tool How to Use the Internet Explorer Repair Tool http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy...ie5repair.html If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages. Hope this helps Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. Please reply to the newsgroup so others may benefit. How to make a good newsgroup post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm wrote in message ... I have downloaded the Internet Explorer 6.0 upgrade many times, each time I go to open the setup and start upgrading a box will open saying I am unable to upgrade, try closing all open applications and try set up again, I would hit, Ctrl-Alt-Delete and make sure that the only things running would be, Explorer and Systray and I will still get the same error message. Is there some way for me to get by this error and get IE 6.0 installed? If anyone has any ideas about this or has had the same thing happen to them, please e-mail ne at my address above, fastguy4u2001@yahoo,com as soon as you could. As for system specs, I have a HP Pavilion Pentium III running Windows 98SE and has Internet Explorer 5.0 installed at this time, I have 192mb of RAM installed also. I have 6.0 on my other computers and like the way it runs much better than the IE 5.0. So Please, anyone reading this message and has some idea of what it is I'm to do to get my IE 5.0 upgraded to 6.0 e-mail me.I have read through all the info I could find in the Question-Answer areas on this website and never found any answers that would help me out. Thanks for reading this, and if I get any kind help from you at all, maybe then I could repay the favor back by helping you with an answer to a question you might have. And yes, I have considered the idea of totally erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 98SE and trying to go from there but even though I have almost everything on the drive backed up on CD's, I still would rather not have to mess with all the reinstalling of all the drivers and programs again, if you know what I mean. Hope to hear from someone real soon... |

Hold on a minute!!
Al's using Win 98SE, not ME!! A lot of the caveats don't hold for that version of Windows - and there may be simpler ways to get IE6 to install properly. Try this first.... (courtesy of Zee) Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View: - Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK Create a folder named "Old uninstall". Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information. Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files. Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files. You will now be able to install all the troublesome components. If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder and the files you moved. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Jan Il" wrote in message ...

How come it doesn't work that easy for the ME??? After all the 3 day rig-a-ma-roll, sweating (I did) and hair pulling (you did) and forehead smacking (Robear did) that it took to get it cleaned up and reinstalled and all on my 'puter? ....

Your problem was different, Jan - you'd reinstalled the OS over the top
(which is really the only excuse for a full removal/reinstall). -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Jan Il" wrote in message ...
