IE5

I'm having trouble installing IE5 on my new NT Workstation. I just rebuilt the station. Before I started rebuilding, I saved all of my setup files on another partition so it wouldn't be necessary to download all of them again. I then formatted my primary partition. Well, when I finally got NT installed(on the primary partition), I tried installing IE5 again and it tells me that the previous setup was never finished and it won't let me continue. Is there any possible way that I can bypass that so I can install IE5? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Allen

In the Registry
HKEYLocalMachine\System\CurrentControlset\Control\SessionManager
There is a key called "pending file renames" or something similar, dlete this key and IE will install.
(As you don't know me, I would suggest backing up the Registry first!!!)
