153433 2003-06-18 13:11:00 After executing the IE6 SP1 setup file, the installation stops at 8% then skips to 80% and the following message appears.

The following windows components were not installed. Check next to continue. For more information click help.

IE6 Web Browser
Offline Browsing pack
Browser customization

Nothing is installed! Aftering rebooting my PC and starting the installation again the same problem occurs. I'm in a loop. I and using Windows ME, and currently IE5.5 on a intel PIII 866 Mhz PC.

Any suggestions?

Can you clarify that it's a full install of IE6 (incl SP1) you are installing, or is it just the IE6 SP1 that you are attempting to run over IE5.5 (as that will not work)

Sorry if I seem obtuse but your post could be interpreted as an attempt to run SP1 for IE6, and not IE6 itself.

153436 2003-06-19 02:14:00 I used the IE6setup.exe file from the pcworld May CD-Rom

could it have switched something off/on in registry?

153439 2003-06-19 04:33:00 What are peoples thoughts on this option?


If you are having problems only with Internet Explorer 6, proceed as follows:
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD // Value Name: IsInstalled
Setting for Value Data: [Change the Value from 1 to 0]
Exit Registry

After entering Regedit and getting to this label{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} it displays several other labels in a right window.
The name 'IsInstalled' is has a data value '0x00000001(1)', Should I changed this 1 to 0??

Do I simply delete 1 and enter 0 in the brackets and exit Regedit then reinstall?
