Re: IE6 for w2k server

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Well that's not entirely correct. Some years ago I was successful more than once by setting

"IsInstalled" to zero

I used the regedit described in this article to reinstall IE. I know the article says for Windows XP, but I used it successfully on Windows 2000. Seems like after setting "IsInstalled" to 0, and after restart then IE/OE reverted back to IE5.0 Then you can just run the setup again for IE6



for IE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

for OE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

The kb article has changed since then. (318378) and may no longer apply.

You cannot if you applied any Serivce Pack to Windows 2000 while Internet
Explorer 6 was installed. If you have not done that then you will see the
installation of IE6 in Add\Remove off the Control Panel. And you can
Uninstall it there. If you do not see it there then it cannot be done. The
reason for this is because installation of Internet Explorer changes the
Shell in Windows 2000 and an installation of a Service Pack makes the new
shell permanent.
