Is there any way of repairing IE6 short of reinstalling SP2? You don't seem
to be able to download it separately any more.

But this does involve reinstalling SP2. With SP1, it was possible to go into
the registry and modify a key so as to tell Windows that IE was not
installed, then go to Updates, which would then reinstall IE. It wasn't
necessary to reinstall the whole of SP1. Is there any reason why this
approach would not work with SP2?

You will need to uninstall WinXP SP2 from Control Panel -> Add/Remove
Programs and then reinstall Service Pack 2.

That's the method to reinstall IE/OE in WinXP SP2.

XPsp2 has (a now undocumented) alternative: iexplore.exe /rereg
Unfortunately the implementation was botched.
However, you can try modifying the list of modules and their switches
in ieuinit.inf to obtain its best effect, as I have suggested previously:
