Re: Can't install IE 6.0 SP1

Hi,
First, be sure to disable your antivirus program when installing IE.

Then, see this article:
303399 - You Cannot Finish Installing or Upgrading Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303399

You don't mention your OS. If it's WinME, see the post by Zee (oops) in this
thread:

Hope this helps,
