Windows Update IE 6 Service Pack 1 Installation-failed

[Pat]

I have been trying to install the Critial Windows update
IE6 Service Pack 1 for Me since April The DL is 452KB,
the installation takes ages and when it gets to the 91%
installation it fails. The error message I recieve "The
Short cut "Resume Windows Update Installation Ink" refers
to a location that is unavailable. The location could be
on a hard drive on this computer or a network or on a
different computer on your home network.........
I have shutdown my Firewall which didn't help, I receive
error messages that I have an Installation that is not
complete, "Do I wish to install", Another error message
says "Installation could not be completed, you need to
restart your computer to finish the installation process.
I am on DSL, High speed.
Can anyone help me get this update installed? thanks

[Noel Paton]

The initial download (452KB) is only a stub which allows you to choose
options for the full download - which can be up to 75MB. - does this at
least start?

When booting the PC, do you get any error messages?
Are you running Norton software of any kind? - what?

Yes, I do get error messages:
When I reboot the message is what I mentioned in my
initial query.
These are the messages I get when I try to install IE6
Service Pack 1

Resume Windows Update:Internet Explorer and Internet Tools
Setup has detected that a previous installation was not
complete. Do you want to resume and continue with set up?
*yes- Resume Set up
*no- Resume set up from the begining. Select this one if
setup has failed more than once.(I used this one last time)

Initial Set up
-Windows Update IE and Internet Tools
*Install now--Typical (I use this one)
*Install selective

Prepare Setup
Installing....................91% STOPS installing

Windows Up date: INternet Explorer and Internet Tools
Setup was unable to install all the components. Please
close all applications and try running setup again.
OK Help
Under HELP..It appears you have the correct setup byt the
installation failed. Try closing down all the other
programs and try running setup again. If it dosen't wokr
contast Microsoft Suppoert for additional help.

Seems to me I had trouble instaling the origianl IE6 and
when I went back in my notes I found 221863 Error
Message from Microsoft I followed the instruction after
the part "IF using MS_DOS modes doesn't work", AND IT
WORKED LAST TIME, but this time I can not find
wininit.ini on the Local Hard Drives. Searched for
wininit.nin which was the change in name but nothing on
the search.


I have FREEDOM Antivirus and Firewall from my Internet
provider. I shut both down when I am doing the
installation.

Hope this gives you enought to go on. I tried to DL
Q331923 OE Patch, to stop OE saving to My Documents, but
it said there was an Instalation that was not complete and
could not do this until that one was installed. So I am
going around in a circle. I am running Windows ME on AMD
K6-2, 450MHz, 192MB RAM,DSL
Thanks

The 'Resume......lnk not found' error is simply because you're not connected
to the net at the time - it's a URL shortcut.

This looks like a variant of the Norton System Doctor problem - see if the
following applies (NSD isn't the ONLY cause - simply the most common one fy
far!)

You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your
c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF
file in there (it also slow your system down to stop, trying to read them
and sort the [non-existent] contents!).
You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files.
look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it
happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are
actively troubleshooting something)

The Symantec site:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nunt.nsf/docid/2000120915010309&src=n

also
"Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or
Adding New Hardware"
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q281967)
also
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q301540
(which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch
description)
Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 -
they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the
cost of the call.

Good Luck

Pat,

If Noel's advice does not apply to your issue have a look here :

" Setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all
applications and try running Setup again. "

You Cannot Finish Installing or Upgrading Internet Explorer

I had seen a similar posting to this one earlier today and
I deleted all my oem*.inf files even if they were more than
0 bytes. Could this be to blame for my inability to print
(the initial problem I was trying to solve) and perhaps the
cause of IE6s guaranteed failure whenever I go to the
Windows Update page. Can I get those useful oem*.inf files
back? Thanks.

It could very well be your problem - or at least a contributing factor.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to tell what's gone, as there are no
OEM*.INF files in Win ME except for OEMCPL.INF
These files are generally created by installing hardware drivers - you
should first reinstall the drivers for you Video card and your sound card -
and any external devices you have (including printers, etc) from the
disks/downloads
Then reboot to Safe Mode, and check out Device Manager there - see what's
reported as giving problems, or is duplicated, and post back.
