Cant install IE 5.5 Setup was unable to download...

[JohnBates]

Hi,

My server has IE 5 and the OS is Windows 2000 Server. I'm trying to download IE 5.5 for Windows 2000.

(Yes I know 6 is the latest but 5.5 is the company standard that all machines are supposed to have)

When I try to download IE 5.5 from the MS site, it always fails with this strange message:

"Setup was unable to download the required components.Make sure you are connected to the Internet or try setup again later."

I did find a Knowledge Base article that appears to relate to this problem - but didn't resolve it.

Any ideas on the weird one?

Thanks, John
