Can't Install Internet Explorer Service Pack 1

I am running Windows ME and Internet Explorer Version 5.50.4134.0100. Windows
Update is telling me that there is a service pack to be installed on my
system -- but it relates to Internet Explorer and is called "Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (Windows 98, Windows ME)". Perhaps this is
the Service Pack that Mark D. in the "can't install service packs" post below
is having trouble with. I am certainly having trouble with it, although I
don't get an error code like the one Mark gets.

The update seems to download on my computer, but fails every time on
install. And every time that I end back in Windows Update, the system review
suggests that I install this SP1 as a "critical update". I have no idea what
to do.

Mark D's problem relates to the installation of Win2K's SP4 (he does
mention service pack 4), hence his seeing the ntdll.dll error he
mentioned.

If you are still running I.E. version 5.50.4134.0100 then installing IE6
SP1 is very much a critical update as the version of IE you are running
has not been supported for at least the last three years, there having
since been IE5.5 SP1, and then SP2 (which is still supported) and IE6 and
then in Feb 2003 IE6 SP1 (v6.0.2800.1106).

What error are you seeing when you attempt the install. Note that what
you are downloading from the Windows Update site is just a stub installer.
When this is run it then pulls down the required components which can
amount to as much as 25MB.

Thanks for the response.

I expect the problem has arisen because I had to do a complete Windows ME
re-install from a boot disk in order to fix a midi problem.

The reinstall gave rise to some other problems. One I have fixed - relating
to my inability to get a logon box after the reinstall.

The other seems to be with windows updating or at least with me Internet
Explorer. I have always had Windows Update working in the past and presume
that my IE was up to date. Perhaps that contributes to the problem now. I see
no way to completely uninstall and reinstall IE -- e.g. it is not listed in
the Add/Remove Programs box in Control Panel.

The problem occurs as follows:

I run Windows Update. The only suggested update of consequence is the
critical update of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (Windows '98,
Windows ME).

I close all running applications using Control Alt Delete repeatedly, except
for Systray, IE and the update app.

I select it. The original 458K stub downloads. I accept the agreement and
choose Typical Install. A 10,729KB file downloads, seemingly completely.
Installation begins. Installation jumps extremely quickly from 1% to 70%. The
error occurs at this point. The box doesn't say error as such, but says
"Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all
applications and try running Setup again."

(But, as mentioned, I have already closed all applications I know of --
having originally received this error when I had apps such as my firewall and
anti-virus programs running.) Anyway, I reboot, close all apps again and try
running set-up again. The same failure occurs in the exact same way. I then
cancel setup.

No idea how to fix this.

My IE remains at version 5.50.4134.0100.

Thanks to you or anyone else, in advance, if you have suggestions for how to
correct this.

For the "unable to install all components" issue with IE6SP1 in WinME, try
this:


Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View:
- Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK

Create a folder named "Old uninstall".

Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information.

Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

You will now be able to install all the troublesome components.

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder
and the files you moved.

Good luck,

Zee

Thanks Zee,

Your suggestion solved 95% of my problem.

I did what you said and then ran Windows Update. The download added some
components. The install started again. It got by the 1% point and kept going.
That relieved me. Once it got to 5% it jumped to 70% very quickly, which
worried me. But it seemed to keep going and got to 100%. The install seemed
to continue from there, but eventually did freeze without ever telling me
that it was successful, unlike what Windows Update usually seems to do. I
closed IE and rebooted anyway. The configuration seemed to change and the IE
version was updated.

I found it necessary to keep going back to Windows Update and keep rebooting
in order to get a bunch of additional consequent critical updates serially.
These all worked fine until the last one.

Unfortunately, at the very end of this process a critical cumulative SP1
update for Outlook Express 6 being KB837009 would say install was successful
but everytime I go back to Windows Update it says I need to install that one
(again?). I use Outlook instead of Outlook Express anyway, but will note for
the record that my Outlook Express 6 version is 6.0.2800.1106 (I don't know
if that is the latest or not).

I am also not sure whether it matters that I can't get this critical update
confirmed as being installed since I use Outlook anyway. The Windows Update
install history says "successful install" but every time I start Windows
Update it tells me that I need this update (again?).

Like I said, I seem to be 95% there. Don't know if you or others have any
ideas for this last problem. I couldn't figure out which file to attempt a
fix analgous to the one you gave me concerning the original situation.

Thanks again for your help Zee.

You're welcome.

Glad it worked to some extent, or most of it.

If you're using Outlook, not much to worry, but maybe someone else knows how
to help you there.

FYI, my OE shows version 6.00.2800.1123 also on WinME.

Cheers,

Zee

Hello Zee..
I have seen your post answer (resolution) to several, and although I did
'exactly' as you suggested and disabled ALL background running programs, This
Does Not Work For Me. I have tried it 4 times. Seems like my registry has a
block preventing the install. I keep receiving the error message: "Setup ws
unable to download ... components, etc. Do you know of a site I can go to and
download and burn a CD for the Total IE Software ?
Regards,
Sparky

Fred,

See this:

How to download Internet Explorer 6 SP1
http://www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html

And if you want the full IE6SP1 package:

http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/microsoft/ie/6.0sp1/

But it's 77.6MB.

Hope these may help you.

Good luck,

Zee

Zee..
Thank you for your time and trouble answering my post and for the links. I
seriously doubt if my Dial-Up connection would tolerate a download of >77 MB.
I did find where I can order the CD from Microsoft and pay $5.00 for shipping
and handling. I do not know why your method does not work for me as it has
for others but again, I think my registry is blocking the Setup. I am
thinking about just backing up my docs, formating and reloading my ME System
Files. That should fix the problem, but don't really want to that. Again,
Thanks..Will let you know how I solved the problem.

Fred,

I've come to this thread late and can't see your earlier posts however
there's no need to download the full 77MB. The size of the Win Me files
is around 13.2 MB which whilst still a fair download on dial-up is
significantly less than 77MB.

Download the file iesetup.exe (481 KB) from the Microsoft Download Centre
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en)
and place in a folder on your desktop.

Connect to the internet. Open the folder containing iesetup.exe and
double click to open. Accept the agreement and click Next. On the next
page select Install Minimal or customize your browser and then click Next.
On the next page click the Advanced button and check "Download only", and
click OK. Now click Next , and on the next page ensure that just Windows
Millennium is checked. Click Next again and the download should start
which is around 12.7MB.

When complete you should then be able to install IE6 SP1 without having to
go on line by running iesetup.exe.

Hello Mike:
Sorry this is long but...Well, I GIVE UP. I followed your advice, 'exactly'
to each letter of your Most Welcome Post and also ended all running except
for Sys Tray and Explorer, i.e. No Virus/No Firewall/No PopUp Block, etc. but
It Did Not Work - received the message,"Setup was unable to install all the
components. Please close all applications and try running Setup again." and
I still have IE 5.50.4134.011 w/ updates Q330994 & Q903235. I tried Zee's
advise on doing the ...Uninstall Information/Cut/Paste the files into a
folder "Old uninstall", etc.-that didn't work either. I went to
www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html site, followed those instructions-
that didn't work either. Since I use Dial-Up, I know it would be hopeless to
try to download 77+ MB and since I only need 12.7 MB which I did download as
you advised. OS is Windows ME; I have a 160 G Hard Drive and 256 Ram w/900
Mhz Processor, etc. so I know I have adequate where-with-all to do this
download/install but Something Is Preventing install, maybe a setting
somewhere in the registry, I don't know. I simply Do Not Understand what is
going on. But I do have a question I could not find an answer for out in the
discussion group; i.e. I have MSN 9.0 as my ISP with MSN Explorer installed.
Do you think there might be some thing with MSN Explorer that is blocking my
attempt(s) to install IE6SP1 ? Oh yes...I checked and I have 17 entries
under Windows Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 "successful" ? downloads
dating back to April, but cannot get setup to complete. And when I run
Windows Update and scan, it comes back telling me I need to download IE6SP1.
I have ran 'totally' out of ideas how to get around this and get IE6 SP1.
Please offer Any Ideas you have (short of dumping this PC and buying a new
one) - I will do your suggestions and get back to you. Thanks for All Your
Help. Regards, Fred

Fred,

I will repeat the workaround I know for your problem, and it would really
surprise me if that doesn't work.

You would be the first one to say that. Please make sure you follow exactly
all the steps and it must work:

Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View:
- Select "Show hidden files and folders", click Apply - OK

Create a folder named "Old uninstall".

Go to folder C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/Uninstall Information.

Now Edit - Select All - Cut all files.

Open "Old uninstall" folder and paste the files.

You will now be able to install all the troublesome components.

If everything works as expected, you can delete the "Old Uninstall" folder
and the files you moved.

Good luck,

Zee

NHello Zee,
I will give it another try and let you know the results. Previously, I did
create the old uninstall folder on my desktop, followed your directions
exactly including CUT the files, Not copy and paste. The last time, it did
not work so I moved all the Uninstall files back under Internet Explorer
folder. I will try it again.I do hope it works.
Thanks for your Fast Post.
Fred

Try using paragraphs instead of one massive run-on string of text. The mess
below is impossible to read. Try putting a Return after every 2-3 lines.

You're writing like a 19th century author. Try moving into the 21st century.
The unnecessary Capital Letters Don't Help Either.

P.S.: 160 GB may be too big for one partition in WME. Have you tried
dividing it into four or even five partitions?

Hello Zee.
Well, I am the First. I performed your step by step instructions to the
letter Twice; it didn't work, so I moved the uninstall files back to original
location, tried again just for the heck of it...got same message, Setup
unable to download, etc.
Now for the Real Kicker..I installed and ran IEradicator thinking this step
would surely let me download and install IE6SP1 but there is still a glitch
somewhere (has to be in the registry) because I got the same Setup unable to
download, etc. message I am just thankful I created a restore point and
backed up the registry before I ran the IEradicator. It could be because
there are actually 26 entries from Windows Update showing successful download
of this software. I also tried Mike M. suggestion detailed in this post. That
did not work either. I will let you know when I am successful and how.
Now as far as Walterius goes, his comments do not merit any reply except,
I did checked with the manufacturer of my hard drive and they said multiple
partion is not necessary to work with Windows ME. Regards,
