Title: Cannot Install IE 6.0
Post by: bubbles335 on June 18, 2004, 06:45:07 PM

I have Windows Me and I have attempted to download and install IE 6.0  several times but the intallation has never completed. The download works fine but when it gets to the installation process it goes from 2% to 75% then says that the installation was not complete and the computer must be restarted. After I restart the computer a message comes up that says to retry the installation process but the same thing happens. I'm not sure why this is happening, can u help me?

thanks
???

I have tried downloading it from the Windows Update site and Download.com. I have deleted it and downlaoded it again, but the same thing happens. The error message just says that the installation was not completed, restart the computer and retry the installation.

Before installing Internet Explorer 6.0 did you clean your registry?

This might remove old Internet Explorer 6.0 registry entries.

Do as the programs tells you.

You donot need both, but Advanced System Optimizer is a very reliable program and it has more functions.
