    What about the updates that have been made to Internet Explorer 6 since the initial load? I feel I need to reload IE 6 because I am not connecting to all sites that I could at one time. I have SP2 loaded.

    If you don't have a SP2 CD it seems you are screwed.

    The path is where your CD is, most systems are D: or E: The navigate (browse) to i386 folder and you will see a file called IEXPLORE.EX_, this is the compressed iexplorer.exe file. It works fine.

    On Comment #11, the user said they were unsure where to find the iexplorer.exe on the Win XP CD SErvice Pack 2. It can be found in I386 directory!

    I found this tip to be very helpful! I would suggest that you add to make sure that the user has the correct Win XP CD (i.e., service pack 2). Once I had that CD, the install went without a problem. Thanks again.

    you're expecting the "C" drive as the default. for some it isnt. you also need the SP2 CD.

    It states the file 'IEXPLORE.EXE on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD is needed. Type the path where the file is located. I have no knowledge of where that path is!
