CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Internet Explorer 6 has already been installed and the installation package does not contain any new customizations.

Uncustomized versions of Internet Explorer 6 only install the Internet Explorer Exception Pack and cannot be reinstalled. Customized versions of Internet Explorer 6 that are created by an Internet service provider, Internet content provider, or a corporate administrator can be installed once to apply customizations (branding) but cannot be reinstalled.
RESOLUTION
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this issue and reinstall the same customized Internet Explorer 6 installation package a second time, change the IsInstalled (REG_DWORD) value for the Branding component from 1 to 0 in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components

The Branding key always begins with a greater than (>) character.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Internet Explorer 6 can be installed once on Windows XP to allow customizations to be applied by an Internet service provider, Internet content provider, or a corporate administrator that used the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to create an installation package. Because Windows XP does not install the Internet Explorer Exception Pack, Internet Explorer 6 also installs this component on Windows XP.
