Hi
Machine OS: windows 2000 advanced server
IE: version 6
I uninstalled IE 6 (it kept on crashing) and brought IE back to ver 5.00.3502. Then I ran ie6setup.exe but kept on getting the error:
A previous installation has pending work requiring reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation before running IE setup. Set up will now close.
I followed the instructions from the pages below to fix it. But I got the same error as above.
I also tried installing ie5setup.exe for IE 5.5 but got the same error as above. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I reinstalled SP3, but the same problem remained when I tried running ie6setup.exe and ie5setup.exe (for IE 5.5).
With windows 2000 server, once you uninstalled IE6, it reverted back to IE5, but add/remove programs no longer shows any IE entry in the list for you to uninstall or to repair.
The IE5 I found on the web is for 16 bit OS and windows 3.1 and windows 95. So it cannot be installed on a windows 2000 machine. Do you have one available somewhere for windows 2000?
The ie5setup.exe for IE5.5 could not load. I tried to reinstall IE5 using the windows 2000 server CD, but could not find any option to reinstall it. Do you know how to do that? Is there a way to try to repair windows 2000 server using the OS CD? Thanks.
