| Sujet : Réinstaller IE6 | |
| Cydrec | After a lot of tries, clues from posts here, and probably a bit of luck, I
finally got IE6 to re-install, and got OE to upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0. I upgraded from W2K to XP Pro. I was already running Office 2000 and Outlook 2000. Outlook 2000 is my mail program. Before the move to XP Pro I was running IE 5.x, Outlook 2000 for email, and OE5.5 for newsgroups. So, that's where I was coming from. After moving to XP Pro I had IE6 and OE5.5. No problems. However I wanted OE6 to test some other software I had written. I could not get IE6 to reinstall. Setup kept telling me that I already had a newer version installed, and just shut down. One of the postings here refered to a command line structure for the IESetup.exe in order to get a full download of IE6. That didn't quite work for me, so I changed it a bit and finally got the download. Here's the command line structure: "C:\Internet Files\IE6\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d:1 /s:""#E""" First, download the ie6setup.exe from MS Internet Explorer site. The /d:1 is what I changed. The original advice was for /d which I think means download in the appropriate language. /d:1 means download everything. Using just /d didn't do anything for me - the setup just shut down. /d:1 download IE6 in full. Next, when I tried to run ie6setup.exe it said I already had a newer version. MSKB article # Q304872 speaks directly to this problem. It talks about a simple Registry edit that changes an IsInstalled switch from 1 to 0. Doing just what the article says didn't help - still got that message. Here's a part of the KB article: To work around this issue and reinstall the same customized Internet Explorer 6 installation package a second time, change the IsInstalled (REG_DWORD) value for the Branding component from 1 to 0 in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components The Branding key always begins with a greater than (> ) character. However, under Installed Components there are about 30 keys. It was really simple to just start at the top of the list and look at each one. When I saw information about IE6, IE6 tools, OE5.5, or OE6, I change the IsInstalled value from 1 to 0. Then I re-ran the ie6setup.exe and it downloaded IE6, Tools, OE6, and installed everything. IE6, OE6, Outlook 2000, email, and newsgroups are all running fine. The process of re-installing a major component like this should not be this difficult. I found article Q304872 by accident. Everything works, but I'm still sitting here shaking my head. I hope this helps others. David |
