Joan, Shane, Noel, IE6 problem solved

After posting problems about being unable to download IE6
or should I say that the download failed to complete, last
night I happened on this newgroup.

8f68-d6b55caf6df9

Here is the solution but I had a take a little different
approach. Zee says go to my computer, tools but I don't
have the tools option. I used explore, files, show hidden
files. Then I did a search for C:/Program Files/Internet
Explorer/Uninstall Information and it didn't show. I then
pasted it into run and it popped up. There were 44 files
in the folder. I followed the rest of the instructions and
things seem to be fine. The new uninstall folder only has
17 files.

Can't reinstall IE 6 on WinME

In: microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.setup




Try this:

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.

Good luck,

Zee

Glad you have your problem solved Kelly and thanks for letting us know
what worked for you.
