Any solutions for the following:

1 Internet Explorer Self-extracting cabinet

For XP = IE7-Windows XP-x86-enu 

Is there a windows 98 version by any chance? Would that be IE7-Windows 98-x86-enu?

Or more likely a w98 version for IE 6.0, 5.5 or 5.0? If so, would they be IE6-Windows 
98-x86-enu ...

2 Installing software without an installer Wizard

If no installer wizard exists and add/remove does not work either. How is it possible 
to install software (plus no install option exists on the txt file) in the correct 
unknown locations - in this case a display driver?

3 Uninstalling software-proper procedure

The same applies to uninstalling software without an uninstaller, as well as neither 
accessible via add/remove? Just deleting, fails to alter the registry for one thing.

No IE7 is for WinNT.

You can download IE6 from Microsoft Web site. As far as problem software, sometimes reinstalling the Program over the top of itself will repair the uninstall feature. You can also manually remove it by deleting the Program Files, and manually removing entries in the Registry

If a program won't uninstall, I usually just leave the Program myself. Many times that is the safest since most unused Programs don't cause a problem.

Drivers are not installed in the usual sense.  You can put it in any folder you like 
(although Windows/System is most usual); then to start using it you go to "add/remove 
hardware" and follow the dialogs, eventually getting to the point where you tell 
Windows where the driver is stored.

To uninstall a driver and replace it with another, go to "add/remove hardware" and 
follow the dialogs to change the driver, or change it in "device manager".  To just 
uninstall the driver (so that the hardware no longer works at all - not a good idea 
for a display?) you can indeed delete the file from Windows/System and delete the 
hardware from "device manager".

Sorry if I@ve made any mistakes in the above, just responding from the hip without 
checking my facts first because I'm currently running WinXP (I know I shouldn't really...)

Steve,

Thanks. But the only way in this case is to locate the self-extracting cabinet for 
IE6 as I unable to access the microsoft website with this pc.

Then download IE 6 from one of the 3rd party download sites, like oldVersion.com
