IE6 SP1 Gotta Go

Postby jolted88 » Sat Sep 06, 2003 4:15 am

I am trying to restore IE 5.5 from IE 6 SP1 on my windows 2000 OS,but when I go to add remove programs and click on uninstall I only have the option to repair internet explorer.I don't have the option to add a componant or restore to the previous windows configuration. I had windows 2000 service pack 4 installed but removed it in order to view the IE 6 uninstall option in my add remove programs. Is there a way to restore ie 5.5 without reinstalling my OS? :|

To uninstall IE 6 from windows 2000 Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type the following command, where C is the drive where Windows is installed:
"C:\program files\internet explorer\ie uninstall\w2kexcp" /u /q
If that does not work then you can do an In-Place Upgrade of Windows 2000
Insert the Windows 2000 Setup CD into the CD-ROM drive, start the computer, and then press a key to start from the CD-ROM.
On the Windows 2000 Setup screen, press ENTER Click Accept to accept the License Agreement.
Setup should now detect your installation. NOTE: If the Setup program does not detect a previous installation but just continues to the partitioning screen, there is a problem. An in-place upgrade may not be possible.
When you are prompted to repair the existing Windows 2000 installation, press R. Windows 2000 Setup performs an in-place upgrade of the existing installation. Note that you might lose some of your customized settings for the system files.
An In-Place Upgrade does not change the installed components and programs, any passwords, third-party registry entries but it should roll back you IE to the base version
