IE6 (from Win2003 Server)

[BlitzKrieg]

A friend of mine's IE crapped out on him and since you can not download/fix it from Microsoft's site how can I JUST reinstall the included IE6 on his machine without reinstallation of windows server 2003?

Reinstall Internet Explorer? Edit sysoc.inf (C:\Windows\inf\) first. Remove any hide or HIDE.

for example:

Cluster=clusocm.dll,ClusOcmSetupProc,clusocm.inf,hide,7
-->
Cluster=clusocm.dll,ClusOcmSetupProc,clusocm.inf,,7

Now, you can delete the component:

Start -> Control Panel -> Software -> Add/Remove Windows-Components

look out for Internet Explorer and unselect it.

Download Internet Explorer here.

does that really remove. i mean if u look at xp's sysoc.inf it just removes the shortcut on the desktop..

Didn't think about that... I once had a problem with IE and just reinstalled it. It solved my problem... But this doesn't solve most of the problems...

Try to execute these line to uninstall:

RunDLL32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\inf\ie.inf, Base.SysDir.DelFiles

RunDLL32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\inf\ie.inf, Base.AppDir.DelFiles

RunDLL32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\inf\ie.inf, Base.WinDir.DelFiles

RunDLL32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\inf\ie.inf, Base.DelReg

Warning:

I didn't try this myself... cause I don't wanna uninstall my IE. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't... I hope it does...

As I said...Microsoft's site detect Server 2003 and won't allow any IE installations that are currently offered on thier download site. I've tried this already...oh well I'll just convert him to Opera and be done with it.

The command line instructions to uninstall IE do not work ! The program does not help either...the logo test error still remains....

Editing the sysoc.inf does help...IE is partially installed & works well as a browser !

How do I install IE completly ? I have struggled for the last 4 days to do this....there must be a way to extract .CAB files from the CD & install...somebody help pleeeeeasee
