Solve : can't upgrade internet explorer?

Answer»

Hi,
It will download the components, then it will start installing the components..then it stops and i get this message:  " setup was unable to install all the components. Please close all applications and try running setup again."
No matter when i try to install i always get this message.Even after closing all applications.
Please help!
trish35.....What operating system are you using ? What updates where you attempting to D/L ?  Is this the first time you have been unable to D/L updates ?
Perhaps you have something else GOING on ........Do you regularly scan for Viruses , trojans and spyware ?

I have windows me.  I have had this problem before.
Its when i try to upgrade from microsoft internet explorer 5 to microsoft internet explorer 6.
Thats when i get the message, that it was unable to install all the components.trish35......Are you able to get any updates from MICRO Soft ?  Do you have any service packs installed ?

Let us know

No, i dont think so.
trish35......Did you buy this pc used .......from someone else by any chance ........Because if you have never been able to get the M/S updates ...it's entirely possible that you do not have a legal copy of Win ME ....... What will happen is you go to the MS update site .......your system is scanned to see whats installed ........however if the product KEY has been blacklisted ......you will not be able to complete the download or the install ....... I only mention this as you said you have never been able to get the updates .

WPA (Windows Product Activation) did not begin until WINXP was introduced.  No blacklists for WinME.  IE5 is unable to access Windows Update, fully.  You need to download a Full Install of IE6, first.  Here's how to do it:

I tried it like that also, and it will download the components but when it installs them it gets maybe half way done then it says all components coundn't be installed.
I bought the pc new.  I used to be able to upgrade internet explorer, but for awhile now i can't.I am not a big fan of WinME, but maybe it's time to do a Repair Install.  Or, depending on the computer, maybe upgrade to WinXP.  If your computer came with WinME, it's probably about 5 years old and it will most likely run WinXP.  CPU needs to be at least 300Mhz and minimum memory is 128MB.
