Hi Doug,
>From the Registry Edit menu you can use Find (use "IsInstalled"). This will
make it easier to find the keys mentioned in the article. I used the last
four characters to make it a bit easier. Click the numbers for IE and OE to
find where to edit the one (1) to a zero (0) on the right.

To avoid this error message and reinstall the same version of Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express, follow these steps:
1.. While you are logged on as an administrator, click Start, and then
click Run.
2.. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.. Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the IsInstalled
(REG_DWORD) value, and then click Modify.
I could not find this registry subkey in my registry, this is too vague,
where is the subkey?
To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows XP,
use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}
4.. Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
5.. Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6.
6.. To reinstall Windows XP updates, visit the following Microsoft Windows
