Hi, To resolve this problem (for Mellienium Edition) as I had the same problem...
Make sure you still have the ie6setup update folder downloaded to your computer and
ready to go.
Next, delete:
{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
Using explorer it is found in:
C:/Windows/System/CatRoot
(a reboot is not required just delete it) and then run ie6setup.exe again.
This is the file causing your problem and ie6setup writes it anew and completes the
installation. Cheers.
