IE 6

How do I repair IE 6?
I added sp1 and now when I try to reinstall IE6 it won't
because I have a later version.

Thanks

Go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/ie6/default.asp

In the download box, select your desired language and click Go. On the next
page click the Internet Explorer 6 link under Download.

Save the file to your hard drive and note where you saved it to:

When the download is complete, click Start, Run, Browse, and browse to the
location you saved the file to. Highlight the IE6SETUP.EXE file and click
Open.

In the Run dialog, move the cursor to the end of the command and press the
space bar. Copy and past the following into the Run dialog at the end of
the current command:

/c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""

The #E needs to be replaced by the full path and file name of the IE Setup
file.

An example command line would look like this:

"C:\Temp\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""C:\Temp\ie6setup.exe"""

Replace C:\Temp in this example with the actual path to the ie6setup.exe
file. All parameters must be in the line and all of the quote characters
must be as shown.

Information for this procedure was derived from:

Hi,

In addition to Doug's expert advice.....That is a common error message that
involves the IsInstalled setting. Follow these steps to correct it:

To reinstall the same customized Internet Explorer 6 installation package a
second time, run this edit then reinstall:

Enable Reinstallation of Internet Explorer or OE (Line 114)

After running this edit, rename the CatRoot2 folder (Windows\CatRoot2) and
run the ie.inf (Windows\inf\ie.inf). Or use this run command:

Go to Start/Run, and type:
"rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
%windir%\inf\ie.inf"
