I don't recommend anybody to download IE from third party websites. If you
want a full version of IE6 (which you can burn it to CD for future re-install)
then do this:

1) download the setup.exe file from Microsoft Website and save it in c:\temp folder;
2) Now go to START, RUN and type this:

"C:\temp\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

NOTES:
a) Please copy and paste the above command to avoid mistakes
b) If you downloaded the ie6setup.exe somewere else then replace c:\temp to
yourdownloaded folder;

Then you need to follow the on-screen instructions i.e. select the version for
your OS. XP is not listed so choose Wndows 2000..

Hope this helps.
