IE 6.0 reinstallation difficulties

[Mitch]

Hello Newsgroup

A previous installation has pending work requiring a
reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete
that installation before running Explorer Setup. Setup
will now close


resume windows update internet explorer and internet tools
Setup has detyected that a previous installation was not
completed.
do you want to recover and continue Setup?

Yes, resume Setup
No run setup from beginning.
Select this option if setup has failed more than once.
I have tried both, unsuccessfully.

starts to install components then this window appears

setup was unable to install all the components. please
close all applications and try running setup again.

Unsuccessful

There is no IE in Add and Remove Programs.

Explorer 5.5 is currently in control and explorer 6.0 had
been running my browser
since if first came out.
I think I removed it from Add and Remove within the last
2 weeks while deading with
wiruses.

Does anyone know how to get Explorer 6.0 operating for me
again?

Mitch,

Try this:

Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View:
- Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK

Create a folder named "Old uninstall".

Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information.

Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

You will now be able to install all the troublesome components.

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder
and the files you moved.

Good luck,

Zee

Hope it works for you.
