Stange IE6 installer error (208k jpg)

Post #149,046 by Steve Lowe 3/28/04 2:43:12 AM 3/28/04 2:53:48 AM Reply	Stange IE6 installer error (208k jpg) This is on a buddy's laptop when he attempts to install IE6.. [image\|http://users.frii.com/slowe/IE6err.jpg\|\|\|\|] The hilarity of it all aside (I laughed out loud when I saw it), anyone seen this type of thing before and have any suggestions for this poor bastard? My only suggestion is RRR, which he of course is trying to avoid. I am entirely clueless about windows stuff anymore. Here's his email to me: This is a screenshot of the warning that comes up when I'm mid-install on IE. You cannot imagine the amount of cursing and swearing it caused. After you click OK, the install terminates. Edits: hit enter too quick, and then added text of email ----- Steve Edited by Steve Lowe March 28, 2004, 02:53:48 AM EST Expand All History

(Tell me why this testing is important.) This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator. This problem will occur if MS03-023: Buffer Overrun in the HTML Converter Could Allow Code Execution is installed on your computer. To resolve this behavior: 1. Close all open Windows. 2. Open the Add or Remove Programs applet in Control Panel. 3. Select Windows XP Hotfix - KB823559 and press Remove. 4. When the hotfix is removed, restart your computer. 5. download and install Internet Explorer SP1. 6. After Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 is installed, restart your computer. 7. Install the MS03-023: Buffer Overrun in the HTML Converter Could Allow Code Execution hotfix. -- Chris Altmann

Windows service pack (whatever level it's at) 3. the critical updates after removing any expressly for outlook express. And, re-install the service pack after installing any MS applications (with all of their updates). 4. Hope. Blind, unreasoning hope. ----------------------------------------- It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why?
