Guest George Hester Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 Re: IE6 for w2k server You cannot if you applied any Serivce Pack to Windows 2000 while Internet Explorer 6 was installed. If you have not done that then you will see the installation of IE6 in Add\Remove off the Control Panel. And you can Uninstall it there. If you do not see it there then it cannot be done. The reason for this is because installation of Internet Explorer changes the Shell in Windows 2000 and an installation of a Service Pack makes the new shell permanent. -- George Hester _________________________________ "leoj" <leoj@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:86B08E77-615A-47FD-AD37-2DDB72627338@microsoft.com... > how to uninstall internet explorer 6 in windows 2000 server
Guest Dave Patrick Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Re: IE6 for w2k server Well that's not entirely correct. Some years ago I was successful more than once by setting "IsInstalled" to zero I used the regedit described in this article to reinstall IE. I know the article says for Windows XP, but I used it successfully on Windows 2000. Seems like after setting "IsInstalled" to 0, and after restart then IE/OE reverted back to IE5.0 Then you can just run the setup again for IE6 for IE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} for OE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C} The kb article has changed since then. (318378) and may no longer apply. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest George Hester Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Re: IE6 for w2k server Hi Dave. That is to work with Outlook Express. Used it many times. The way to check what I mentioned is to look at the verision of explorer.exe after the upgrade to IE 6. Then if you think you can return to IE 5 or 5.5 after a Service Pack has been installed over IE 6 is to go look at the version of explorer.exe after the putative attempt to return IE to a prior version. It will still be the updated shell. If you can do it that would be something as Microsoft also says it cannot be done. Here is a page that tells why Ineternet Explorer may not appear in Add/Remvoe: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303485/en-us The statement I made that it cannot be removed after a Service Pack install is at the site "somewhere:" but where exactly is a different question. Of course Dave if you can do it that is always nice to know. I just never was successful doing it and is why I do not install service packs after a IE "upgrade" in Windows 2000. If I am going to apply a service pack I return IE to a prior version (IE 5.01) first. -- George Hester _________________________________ "Dave Patrick" <DSPatrick@nospam.gmail.com> wrote in message news:1FFA5A0E-A5D0-45CC-9C52-29DE7F17B214@microsoft.com... > Well that's not entirely correct.
