Hi, can someone help me installing IE6. Whenever I gonna try to install IE6 I get the message that another installation hasn't finished yet and I have to reboot (good joke). Does anyone knows the responsible registry key to change ? Thx in advance Best regards, Duncan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In Windows itself is a program called "wininit.exe" which monitors Windows initialisation procedures. The associated file wininit.ini gets updated whenever a program installation requires a reboot to complete set-up. However if the wininit.ini file becomes corrupted it never recognises that the system rebooted cleanly and fails to accept that the prior installation is complete. I'll be honest and say I am a newbie to WINE so I don't know how the above would be reflected in WINE (if at all). I hope it helps point you in the right direction though :) Kind regards, Julian On Tue, 2003-04-15 at 16:46, Duncan Rubinger wrote:> Hi, > > can someone help me installing IE6.

That in theory should complete previous installations.
