Reinstall Internet Explorer?

[David]

Hello,


I have downloaded iesetup.exe to re-install internet
explorer. I have edited the registry so it can
reinstall.. The setup fails the installation every time.
I simply cann't re-install IE.

Any suggestions??

Thank You,

~David~

The details of any error message that you receive would be helpful.

There was no error message..Only that it said it may not
be windows compatible.

Get a recent ISP disc from a magazine or somewhere. Don't allow it to
autostart but explore it and look for IE6 setup. Install from there over
the top of existing installation. No need to edit registry.

I had this problem - took me a day to sort it out. In the
end, I tracked it to a 'cryptographic' error (don't even
ask what that means). The advice at this link was very
helpful - after I followed all of it (including the
section about installing patches) I was able to install
XP SP1 and thus IE 6;
