Digital Signature Not Found - Need help!

[Lynne228]

Having trouble updating IE5.0 to IE6.0. Upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.0 from Windows Updates page didn't work due to constant errors, "The following file in the software package you want to install is not signed." Then it would give random system files like cdfview.dll, inetcpl.cpl, etc.

This is what I have done and still NO luck:

1. Clean re-install W2K (yes, re-format h/d and everything).
2. Install W2KSP3 from CD-ROM, not thru web connection.
3. Try to install IE6.0 from CD-ROM, not thru web connection.
4. Try to install in Safe Mode.
5. Replaced the .dll, etc. files that kept appearing in the "digital signature" error messages.
6. Select "ignore" for file signature verification.

No matter what I do, I still get the "Digital Signature Not Found" message during IE6 setup. Please, any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks.

This IEradicator is not for W2K with SP3... What about just uninstalling from Windows Components in Add/Remove programs???

 

[SQLBaby]

Add/Remove will not 'Clean" uninstall,. download programme from above given thread it will delete even a single file related to IE. then try to install IE again

FYI: This didn't work either. Neither did changing the value of "SFCDisable" in the registry....or trying to change the sfc.dll file. I will see what else I can try...

So, after running Windows 2000 repair process, determined that h/d is damaged. Will replace it and start again. Thanks for the input.
