Have you tried Windows Update?

Yes , I have tried that without sucess.

Have you tried Windows Update?

Thanks, I understand that will do it but I do not want to go to XP sp2 , I
have other machines running Xp sp1 with IE 6 Sp2 downloaded from WIndows
Update site.
Cannot get it on some other machines.. I've been trying to find a MS site
like the OLD corporate update site but that does not seem to exist anymore.
I'd like to be able to download IE6 SP2 like I did with IE SP1 eg: Iesetup.exe

Thanks though.

Hi Richwhit

In addition to my previous suggestions, you might also try the following:

Save the download to your hard drive and install it from there. Make sure
all programs are closed and you are logged on as Administrator.

Jan , not to be rude at all but did you read my last post, I do not want to
go to XP SP2.

Thanks

IE SP 2 does not exist as a separate download.

Hi Richwhit

Jan , not to be rude at all but did you read my last post, I do not want
to
go to XP SP2.

Then I am afraid, that I may not be understanding what you are wanting to
do. As Ted explained, IE6 in XP is not a separate program as it was with
previous versions of Windows, but, is a core part of the Windows XP OS
itself. Therefore, the XP SP2 download *is* the method to upgrade to IE6
SP2. If you are trying to upgarde your IE6 SP2 to IE6 SP2, then that is
what you need to do it. If this not what you are trying to do then please
explain more clearly exactly what you are trying to do.

Hope this helps.

Nor is there such a thing as IE6 SP2. WinXP SP2 includes its own version of
IE6 SP1.

Thanks, I understand that will do it but I do not want to go to XP sp2 , I
have other machines running Xp sp1 with IE 6 Sp2 downloaded from WIndows
Update site.

See above.
