Still open Internet Explorer 6.0!

[Guest]

Hello:

I am not sure what the procedure is, but I still cannot open IE-6.
Below is the thread, but then all correspondence stop.

Thanks,

install from add\remove programs. But kept jumping to finish at the indexing
portion of the install. And then says finish.

I also installed IE6Osp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.exe patch.

Also it keeps inserting the pending work with the Session Manager within
regedit. It also eliminated the path from the Internet Explorer on the
desktop... So I went into the directory\folder and tried the executable
IEXPLORER.EXE 89kb dated 8/29/2002.

Thanks…

Try a search?

(MSKB Boolean search:

for... "pending work"

)



That won't help until you delete that key.



Why? Perhaps the right idea with the wrong update...

Start with the Security Bulletin Search...

< http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx >

Search by Product/Technology
Product: Internet Explorer 6
Service Pack: Internet Explorer 6 SP1
Show only bulletins that contain updates that have not been replaced...

Do you have 867801 yet?


Good luck

Sorry. The server dropped your message apparently.

You're lucky I spotted this one though.
I'd say if you don't get a reply from someone you are corresponding
with you should try again after a reasonable wait under the assumption
that exactly what happened to me might have happened.

AFAIK that is used for installing components
and I'm not sure but I think that under your OS you can't use it.
What were you trying to do?

But kept jumping to finish at the indexing
portion of the install. And then says finish.

Check the *log.txt files that ie6setup creates for details
about what it really did and why.

So can you Run... iexplore yet? (Ignore lack of shortcuts for now.)

I also installed IE6Osp1-KB867801-x86-ENU.exe patch.

Remember what the idea of that was--to allow you to install/reinstall
newer versions of the core IE modules. Did it work? Check the
versions of the modules that you have installed (e.g. using msinfo32
or OE Help, About) and compare them with the versions that the
security bulletin documents. If you think that they were installed but
the evidence is that they were not you have a big clue about what
is wrong--e.g. if you left your Anti-virus scanner active during the install
and it blocked the final copying of the modules into the System32
and dllcache directories.

Thanks for the update, I am out of office for a couple days. I will see if I
can make any progress, when I get back.
Again Thanks, Dave Jordan
