Re-install of IE6
I have a laptop that recently had WinMe reinstalled due to
an error. Now, I cannot performt the Windows patch that upgrades from IE5.5 to IE6. The install will download and execute but gives me an error message that it was not completed. I tried the MS bulletin about un-installing IE6, but I could not complete it. It was not accurate. I had un- install option for IE and could not perform the command line function, there was no log.txt file. Any suggestions? NoL |

Re-install of IE6
1. go to my computer-tools-folder options-view:
-select "show hidden files and folders", click apply-ok 2. create a temp folder named "Old Uninstall". 3. go to folder C;/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information. 4. now edit-select all-cut all files. 5. open "Old Uninstall" folder and paste the files. 6. you will now be able to install all the troublesome components. 7. if all works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder. suggest you keep folder a few days, then delete. 8. this should fix IE6 install for you, have a nice day. -----Original Message----- I have a laptop that recently had WinMe reinstalled due to an error.

Re-install of IE6
Okay- this is what I have done so far.....
I followed the instructions from the webpage. I have uninstalled IE and rebooted, waited five minutes and rebooted again. Upon this reboot I get a message that states "Explorer has caused an error in Browseui.dll Explorer will now close." Once I hit "Close" I can do nothing else with out getting this message- that includes the "Start" button too. What now?

Re-install of IE6
Browseui shouldn't be being used at all - since AFAIK you've uninstalled it
with IERadicator! Do you have Active Desktop enabled? What happens if you boot to Safe Mode?

Can you get to DOS prompt with a Win ME floppy?
If not, then you need to change the boot order in the BIOS Setup so that you boot from the floppy before accessing the HD. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "NoL" wrote in message ...
