Uninstalle IE 6 on W2K

How can I uninstall the IE Browser?
The repair or return to previous IE Installation does not work.
I've deleted the Uninstall Information, therefore, it does not show up as
method to uninstall it.

I'm sure there is as way to change a folder, in the registry, so that the
system can't see it. Then I can reinstall IE 6 from my CD.

Thanks
 
You can use the regedit described in this article to reinstall IE. Set
"IsInstalled" to 0 (in two places), and after restart then IE/OE reverted
back to IE5.0 Then you can just run the setup again for IE6

I know.. I didnt explain my issue.
My IE won't let me go to certain websites, ie I can't log into eBay. I get
a blank screen. This has happend once before. It has to do with the order
I install certain Programming tools. This is my programming computer,
therefore, it is not that big of deal. I can always use my normal computer
for that anyway.

I just don't know what other sites are affected (that I can't go too). I
thought if I could reinstall my browser it would undo what was wiped out...
but it did not work. I had this issue on the newsgroup about a year ago and
exhausted many different attempts but no solution was found. I just re-did
my programming computer last week after getting a new harddrive. I forgot
about this issue.

So the end results is that I can't go so certain websites (https type). Not
all are affected but the eBay is one that I go to a lot, therefore, I simply
can't use this computer unless I install another browser (firefox). This is
what I had to do last time.
 
You'll probably have to figure out (by process of elimination) what you're
installing that's causing this. They may also have some ideas here.

Hi JCO,

From IE side I have following suggestions:

Suggestion 1:
========================
Since this issue happens to IE, I think resetting IE setting to default may
helps.

1. Delete the cookies

1) Click Start, click Search and click For Files or Folders
2) Type "Cookies" (without the quotation marks) and click Search Now
3) Delete files in the cookie directory

2. Delete all the temporary files

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click Delete Files button in the
General tab

3. Delete the downloaded objects

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click settings button in the
General tab.
3) Press View Objects.
4) Remove all the Objects there.

4. Remove the Plug-Ins in Internet Explorer

1) Close all the Internet Explorer windows.
2) Open a Windows Explorer window by right Click My Computer and choose
Explore.
3) Locate the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS
4) Remove all the files in this folder.

5. Delete SoftwareDistribution folder

1) Stop Automatic Updates service.
a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc.
b. In the right pane, stop the Automatic Updates service.
2) Delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
3) Test the issue again.

6. Reset all settings of Internet Explorer

1) Under the General tab, click Clear history button.
2) Under the Security tab, click Default Level button.
3) Under the Content tab. Under Content Advisor the button default is
"Enable..."
Click on "Clear SSL" under Certificates, and click on "OK."
4) Under "Local Area Network (LAN) settings" click on the "LAN Settings..."
button - remove all checkmarks and settings unless actually required to use
a proxy and close the window
5) Under the Programs tab, click Reset Web Settings.
6) Under the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults button.
Under Browsing put a checkmark into or remove the checkmark from "Enable
third-party browser extensions (requires restart)".
7) Click on "Apply", then "OK"
8) Close Internet Explorer and restart the computer.

7. Disable all third party Add-ons

1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Click Tools to select Manage Add-ons.
3) Disable all third party Add-ons.

Suggestion 2:
=====================
Create another new user profile to test
1. Log on as the Administrator or as a user with administrator credentials.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click User Accounts.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Advanced.
5. In the left pane, click the Users folder.
6. On the Action menu, click New User.
7. Enter the appropriate user information, and then click Create.
8. Logon with the new user account to see if the issue occurs in the user
profile.

Suggestion 3:
=====================
Re-register IE related DLL files. Run following commands in command prompt

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 shell32.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

Suggestion 4:
======================
To perform an IE6 repair if you don't have IE6 listed in Add-Remove
Programs, then in Start|Run then enter "rundll32
setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance" without the quotes, exactly as shown (it's
case sensitive), and select theappropriate entry.

More detailed info is available here:
Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q194177

If you find that you need to do a re-install of IE6 then you can consider
the following:

1) Insert the Windows installation CD in your CD-ROM drive.

2) Click Start, and click Run.

3) Copy the command prompt below in the Open box (exactly as show - it's
case sensitive), and click OK. (Assumes %System% is installed in Windows
on your C:\ partition. Change as appropriate for your particular
situation.) Rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

4) It will display a "File Needed" screen, click "Browse.." and browse to
<CD-ROM drive>\i386, (where <CD-ROM drive> is the drive letter of the
CD-ROM, For example, D:).

5) Click Open, click Ok, it should begin reinstalling Internet Explorer.

Hope this helps.

I know.. I didnt explain my issue.
My IE won't let me go to certain websites, ie I can't log into eBay.
I
get
a blank screen. This has happend once before. It has to do with the order
I install certain Programming tools. This is my programming computer,
therefore, it is not that big of deal. I can always use my normal computer
for that anyway.

I just don't know what other sites are affected (that I can't go too). I
thought if I could reinstall my browser it would undo what was wiped out...
but it did not work. I had this issue on the newsgroup about a year
ago
and
exhausted many different attempts but no solution was found. I just re-did
my programming computer last week after getting a new harddrive. I forgot
about this issue.

So the end results is that I can't go so certain websites (https

all are affected but the eBay is one that I go to a lot, therefore, I simply
can't use this computer unless I install another browser (firefox).

Well.. It acted like IE5 because it allowed me to re-install IE6. So I
assume it went to IE5. However, when I checked the Help|About, it has
always shown version 6. So I guess there is room for doubt.

Hi,

Since you are unable to restore back to IE 5, you can try to install IE7 to
replace IE 6

Hope this helps.

Well.. It acted like IE5 because it allowed me to re-install IE6. So I
assume it went to IE5. However, when I checked the Help|About, it has
always shown version 6. So I guess there is room for doubt.

Restoring to IE 5 did not help either.

Hi JCO,

From IE side I have following suggestions:

Suggestion 1:
========================
Since this issue happens to IE, I think resetting IE setting to default
may
helps.

1. Delete the cookies

1) Click Start, click Search and click For Files or Folders
2) Type "Cookies" (without the quotation marks) and click Search Now
3) Delete files in the cookie directory

2. Delete all the temporary files

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click Delete Files button in
the
General tab

3. Delete the downloaded objects

1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click settings button in the
General tab.
3) Press View Objects.
4) Remove all the Objects there.

4. Remove the Plug-Ins in Internet Explorer

1) Close all the Internet Explorer windows.
2) Open a Windows Explorer window by right Click My Computer and choose
Explore.
3) Locate the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS
4) Remove all the files in this folder.

5. Delete SoftwareDistribution folder

1) Stop Automatic Updates service.
a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc.
b. In the right pane, stop the Automatic Updates service.
2) Delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
3) Test the issue again.

6. Reset all settings of Internet Explorer

1) Under the General tab, click Clear history button.
2) Under the Security tab, click Default Level button.
3) Under the Content tab. Under Content Advisor the button default is
"Enable..."
Click on "Clear SSL" under Certificates, and click on "OK."
4) Under "Local Area Network (LAN) settings" click on the "LAN
Settings..."
button - remove all checkmarks and settings unless actually required to
use
a proxy and close the window
5) Under the Programs tab, click Reset Web Settings.
6) Under the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults button.
Under Browsing put a checkmark into or remove the checkmark from "Enable
third-party browser extensions (requires restart)".
7) Click on "Apply", then "OK"
8) Close Internet Explorer and restart the computer.

7. Disable all third party Add-ons

1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Click Tools to select Manage Add-ons.
3) Disable all third party Add-ons.

Suggestion 2:
=====================
Create another new user profile to test
1. Log on as the Administrator or as a user with administrator
credentials.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click User Accounts.
4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Advanced.
5. In the left pane, click the Users folder.
6. On the Action menu, click New User.
7. Enter the appropriate user information, and then click Create.
8. Logon with the new user account to see if the issue occurs in the
user
profile.

Suggestion 3:
=====================
Re-register IE related DLL files. Run following commands in command
prompt

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 browseui.dll
regsvr32 msjava.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

Suggestion 4:
======================
To perform an IE6 repair if you don't have IE6 listed in Add-Remove
Programs, then in Start|Run then enter "rundll32
setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance" without the quotes, exactly as shown (it's
case sensitive), and select theappropriate entry.

More detailed info is available here:
Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q194177

If you find that you need to do a re-install of IE6 then you can
consider
the following:

1) Insert the Windows installation CD in your CD-ROM drive.

2) Click Start, and click Run.

3) Copy the command prompt below in the Open box (exactly as show - it's
case sensitive), and click OK. (Assumes %System% is installed in
Windows
on your C:\ partition. Change as appropriate for your particular
situation.) Rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

4) It will display a "File Needed" screen, click "Browse.." and browse
to
<CD-ROM drive>\i386, (where <CD-ROM drive> is the drive letter of the
CD-ROM, For example, D:).

5) Click Open, click Ok, it should begin reinstalling Internet Explorer.

Hope this helps.

I know.. I didnt explain my issue.
My IE won't let me go to certain websites, ie I can't log into eBay.
I
get
a blank screen. This has happend once before. It has to do with the
order
I install certain Programming tools. This is my programming computer,
therefore, it is not that big of deal. I can always use my normal
computer
for that anyway.

I just don't know what other sites are affected (that I can't go too).
I
thought if I could reinstall my browser it would undo what was wiped
out...
but it did not work. I had this issue on the newsgroup about a year
ago
and
exhausted many different attempts but no solution was found. I just
re-did
my programming computer last week after getting a new harddrive. I
forgot

So the end results is that I can't go so certain websites (https
type).

all are affected but the eBay is one that I go to a lot,
therefore,
I
simply
can't use this computer unless I install another browser (firefox).
This
is
what I had to do last time.

That is really bad advice! For starters IE 7 is still in BETA stage and
secondly it is not for Windows 2000, I'm not even sure that it can be
installed on Windows 2000. Even if the OP was on XP it would still be
bad advice to suggest that he install BETA IE to fix IE6 problems. We
know Microsoft wants to "push" its darling but hold on to your horses,
at least until you get the saddle tied on the right way!

IE-7 is for Windows XP only.
I think I have the problem fixed. When I search for KB813444, I got this
website (suggested from Robert).
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813444

Under this sub heading.....
"Use the System File Checker (Sfc.exe) tool to scan all Windows File
Protection (WFP)-protected files"

It seems to be working, after the SFC.exe completed.

Thanks everyone.

132
c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

4) It will display a "File Needed" screen, click "Browse.." and browse
to
<CD-ROM drive>\i386, (where <CD-ROM drive> is the drive letter of the

Explorer.

Hope this helps.

I know.. I didnt explain my issue.
My IE won't let me go to certain websites, ie I can't log into eBay.
I
get
a blank screen. This has happend once before. It has to do with
the
order
I install certain Programming tools. This is my programming
computer,
therefore, it is not that big of deal. I can always use my normal
computer
for that anyway.

I just don't know what other sites are affected (that I can't go
too).
I
thought if I could reinstall my browser it would undo what was wiped
out...
but it did not work. I had this issue on the newsgroup about a year
ago
and
exhausted many different attempts but no solution was found. I just
re-did
my programming computer last week after getting a new harddrive. I
forgot
about this issue.

So the end results is that I can't go so certain websites (https
type).
Not
all are affected but the eBay is one that I go to a lot, therefore,
I
simply
can't use this computer unless I install another browser (firefox).
This
is
what I had to do last time.


Didn't help what? We've no idea what you're talking about.

John John I am not sure whether it is bad advice. But I can tell the op he
will never uninstall IE 6 if he ever applied a Service Pack for Windows 2000
while IE 6 was installed. There is no fix to remove IE 6 in that case. A
complete reinstall of the operating system will be necessary.

That is really bad advice! For starters IE 7 is still in BETA stage and
secondly it is not for Windows 2000, I'm not even sure that it can be
installed on Windows 2000. Even if the OP was on XP it would still be
bad advice to suggest that he install BETA IE to fix IE6 problems. We
know Microsoft wants to "push" its darling but hold on to your horses,
at least until you get the saddle tied on the right way!

Hi,

Since you are unable to restore back to IE 5, you can try to install IE7 to
replace IE 6

Well.. It acted like IE5 because it allowed me to re-install IE6. So I
assume it went to IE5. However, when I checked the Help|About, it has
always shown version 6. So I guess there is room for doubt.



So you were able to restore to IE 5?

IE-7 is for Windows XP only.
I think I have the problem fixed. When I search for KB813444, I got this
website (suggested from Robert).
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813444

Under this sub heading.....
"Use the System File Checker (Sfc.exe) tool to scan all Windows File
Protection (WFP)-protected files"

It seems to be working, after the SFC.exe completed.

Thanks everyone.

I know.. I didnt explain my issue.
My IE won't let me go to certain websites, ie I can't log into
eBay.
I
get
a blank screen. This has happend once before. It has to do with
the
order
I install certain Programming tools. This is my programming
computer,
therefore, it is not that big of deal. I can always use my normal
computer
for that anyway.

I just don't know what other sites are affected (that I can't go
too).
I
thought if I could reinstall my browser it would undo what was
wiped
out...
but it did not work. I had this issue on the newsgroup about a
year
ago
and
exhausted many different attempts but no solution was found. I
just
re-did
my programming computer last week after getting a new harddrive.
I
forgot
about this issue.

So the end results is that I can't go so certain websites (https
type).
Not
all are affected but the eBay is one that I go to a lot,
therefore,
I
simply
can't use this computer unless I install another browser
(firefox).
This
is
what I had to do last time.


Didn't help what? We've no idea what you're talking about.

You brought up a good point. My W2K has SP4 slipped streamed into it. I
forgot about that. That explains why I was not able to remove it. Thanks
for bringing that up.

However, like I said earlier, the issue is fixed.


George Hester said:
John John I am not sure whether it is bad advice. But I can tell the op he
will never uninstall IE 6 if he ever applied a Service Pack for Windows 2000
while IE 6 was installed. There is no fix to remove IE 6 in that case. A
complete reinstall of the operating system will be necessary.

That is really bad advice! For starters IE 7 is still in BETA stage and
secondly it is not for Windows 2000, I'm not even sure that it can be
installed on Windows 2000. Even if the OP was on XP it would still be
bad advice to suggest that he install BETA IE to fix IE6 problems. We
know Microsoft wants to "push" its darling but hold on to your horses,
at least until you get the saddle tied on the right way!

Well.. It acted like IE5 because it allowed me to re-install IE6. So I
assume it went to IE5. However, when I checked the Help|About, it has
always shown version 6. So I guess there is room for doubt.



So you were able to restore to IE 5?

Restoring to IE 5 did not help either.
