SUWIN error during reinstall

I'm reinstalling Winodws ME with the startup disk and,
around 60% of the file copy I get "SUWIN an error has
occurred in your application". This only gives me an
option to cancel (as ignore does not work). Message then
appears "SUWIN caused a general protection fault in module
VERX.LL at 0002:23AE".
Install then stops.

VERX.DLL error
You appear to be attempting to reinstall Win Me over a system where a beta or
early version of Windows Media Player 9 had previously been installed without
having first removed it - not easy I know. Boot to DOS using a floppy and
delete or rename the file WMPLOC.DLL in the windows\system folder and then try
reinstalling Win Me. This should work and now allow you to reinstall Win Me
although you may later have some problems with WMP.

It is also possible that you had installed IE6 and this also needs to be
uninstalled before (re-)installing Win Me. If this is the case you might want
to have a look at MS KB 312451 - "How to Remove Internet Explorer 6 by
Reinstalling Windows" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=312451) and also KB
293907 - "How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293907).

If it is now too late to remove IE6 and after completing your re-install you
have problems due to the resulting version soup between the version of IE5.5
included in the Win Me setup and IE6 please post back and I or someone else
can give some guidance as to how best to proceed.

Rajesh,

Why not use the solution that was posted just 8 minutes after Keith made his
post? The solution as you call it to the VERX error is regularly posted in
these newsgroups by myself and others.

Windows ME. Does any have the solution for this?

Yes, so why don't you read it and try it?
