Apparent IE6 version disconnect

I've got XP_sp2 installed. I've checked the KB artivles about incomplete
installs, and my versions seem to be ok there, but IE6 version is stuck back
at 6.0.2600.0000.xpsp_sp2_gdr This appears to be pre-IE6_sp1, and should be
pre-XP_sp2. my shdocvw.dll is 6.0.2900.2173 though.

Bottom line is I am trying to instal vs2005 MSDN library, and can't, because
it thinks my browser version isn't 6_sp1 or higher. I attempted to install
6_sp1, but XP barfed on reloading because the shdocvw.dll got knocked back
from what was in registry.

Anyone else experience this? Have a fix?
 
I think I have resolved the issue, though not too happy about the
methodology. Basically, I just let XP barf - when it first comes up after
installing IE6_sp1, the msgina fails to load, so I have no user interface. A
restart with "use last known good configuration" manages to get XP to load up
& complete the IE6_sp1 installation (setting up browsing services, etc).
