re: IE6.0 setup Friday, December 24, 2004 at 8:49 am Posted by Sgt (1455 messages posted) Hmm well you could try reinstalling Windows, then trying to install again. Perhaps a reqired file is missing or corrupted and will be repaired after reinstall. As always back up important stuff before hand.

I had lost all my critical updates. The IE6.0 sp1 update would reach 93% and fail. Nothing seemed to work until I followed the suggestion of using IE5.5 with service pack as an intermediate step. This installed. I still had the IE6.0 sp1 folder, and I simply double clicked on the IE6.0setup file in the folder and it finally successfully installed. This was after months of frustration. I did the reinstalls in safe mode, but this may not be necessary. It's the intermediate step with IE5.5 that is the key.
