Hi TaurArian - I am having the same issue - Although and unfortunatley, the
suggested solution did not take care of it. Not sure why it is failing to
install Is there another solution for this problem? I have to tell you too..
This problem for me did not start happening until after I installed Vista SP2
- wonder if that has something to do with it?

Thanks in advance

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2)
in your first post. Thanks.
