I am rebuilding a Win98SE system with new hardware. When I try installing
IE6SP1 the installer goes about 1 percent and then stops with a message like
"Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all apps & try
again." Doing that doesn't help. It looks like it backs up the current
configuration (IE 5) and then stops.

I've been unable to find any install logs. Is there a way to determine why
the installer stops? Is this a known problem (appears not from the listing
in this community).

Thanks!

Have a look through, especially response 4, 5 & 6

Thanks Taurian. My build was beyond help but one more build, this time with
only 256MB of memory, did the trick. I also moved the install files to C:.
Thanks again.
