Hi, I just uninstalled IE6 using XPLite because I was having problems with it. I thne downloaded the full setup file (70MB) and each time I run it whilst initializing the setup, I get the following error: 'Setup was unable to install the components. Please close all applications and try running setup again'. How can i get rid of this problem so that i can install IE6 ? Thanks Kev

As an option, you could install an alternate browser, such as firefox 1.0. do you have a firewall running? or any sort of web filter? i have a web filter at my office that restricts traffic, I have to turn it off to do certain microsoft updates. it could also be a user issue. Only the admin can install windows updates.

i am the admin and i really need to use internet explorer. i have no firewall or web filter. thanks.

alternate browsers....it's like saying trade your cadillac for a volkswagon (which is exactly what it is)....That is not this person's solution. IE Fix or How to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP should be of help to you. It's hard to kiss the lips at night That chew your ass out all day long
