mhsta.exe error after install of IE 6

[arkady187]

I'm not sure if I got this in the right place, please move if I do not.

Ok I have a fully working unattended install of Windows 2000. After the install is complete I can go to add and remove programs no problem. As soon as I install Internet explorer (done multiple times) add/remove programs spits out mhsta.exe error and there is an explorer error after reboot (which I can get past). Not only that but a system file check will not run. It does pop a command prompt for a brief second then just stops. Also running from a command prompt does the same thing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you need more info just let me know
