Did you uninstall any Win2K Service Packs that had been installed /after/

I uninstalled IE 6 (it kept on crashing) and brought IE back to ver
5.00.3502. Then I ran ie6setup.exe but kept on getting the error:

A previous installation has pending work requiring reboot. You need to
restart your computer to complete that installation before running IE
setup.
Set up will now close.

I followed the instructions from the pages below to fix it. But I got the
same error as above.

I also tried installing ie5setup.exe for IE 5.5 but got the same error as
above. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks.
