IE 6 uninstall or rollback to 5.5 on windows 2000 pro
Hi
Could be worng place for this question and could be a silly question, can some give some tips on remvoing IE6 from a windows 2000 pro sp4 machine. i have tried traditional add/remove programs but no luck. i have also tried C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt" command but still no luck.
any prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks

nazirahmed,
Well you could also uninstall the service pack and reinstall it and check what happens

thanks for the quick reply both of you.
i dont want to repair IE6, i just want to degrade to 5 or ideally 5.5 sp2. we have an application which runs perfect with 5.5sp2, although works with IE6 but some options just dont work. i know what you guys are thinking, but at the moment i just want IE5.5 sp2, i can talk to the development guys later on..which is a long process itself.
the link of sunray2003 is bit useless at this point, cant do the inplace reinstall. i got win 2k sp4 on the machine, so there no sps left to install.

thanks sunray2003 but i am not in a position to run inplace upgrade, i have sent the link posted by pete http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html, and someone must have done 'something' by now, no news is not always good news!
nazirahmed,
OK.. as you wish.
The only thing that concerned was "Not for use with Windows 2000sr2 or Windows XP" in that IEeradictor which prevented me from posting that ..Anyways if that works , fine..
Inplace upgrade seems to be a workaround if nothing easier than that works
Keep us posted

Thanks everyone. Although IEeradictor uninstalled the IE but couldnt fix the problem, as after installing IE5.5 the problem was still there. We have to run windows 2000 upgrade....!

Well any specific reason why you want to downgrade ? I am sure you should have seen the news recently that IE has got many critical flaws and MS is doing efforts to protect them. downgrading might affect that and increase the vulnerability
