Hi Cal,

There is an article on Dell that talks about a Repair Reinstall, which has
a slightly different procedure than the other process they told me to try. It
is Dell Doc FA1056993 and is located at:

(http://support.dell.com/support/topi...8CF&l=en&s=bsd)

From the text I cannot tell if this would solve the "corrupted" security
issues with my IE installation. Are you familiar with this? Do you think it
would solve those problems and allow me to install MS Money 2006 without
messing up all the other programs already installed on my computer?

Thanks,

Jon

I'm trying the first method he mentions at theeldergeek.com

I tried the second previously but that didn't work; in fact the registry
entry he mentions I change is still set to 0 (as opposed to 1) and I
obviously IE is still on my computer and running since I'm typing this. I
tried using the MS download for IE 6 to reinstall just after rebooting after
making the registry change (my system did say that IE had been removed)
however the install program still said it found a newer version on my system
and could not continue.... its very odd.

One more thing: when you reinstall, I suggest being behind a NAT
router (the common home kind) until you get your Windows updates.

Cool!

http://www.theeldergeek.com/repair_r...e_and_oe_6.htm seems
to have a useful view.

Hi Cal,

Dell is sending me a new Win XP disk, not the reinstall so we'll see if
that allows me to fix the problem.

I have tried this but it doesn't work. I get a message that says "a new
version of IE is already on the computer setup cannot continue" or something
along those lines.

The only thing here for SP2 is how to reinstall WinXP SP2...I tried
following that but it just took me to the Update site which told me
everything was up to date.

Incidentally I did follow the steps to edit the registry and install IE 6
(the XP and SP1 instructions) but that did not work, I got a message saying
the IE had been removed from the computer however the Icon on the Start menu
was still there, when I tried to install IE6 I got the "a new version"
message....

this didn't help either.

I am running IE 6, but i did install IE7 beta and tried to install MS Money
2006 Deluxe and got the same message "unable to install all of the components
required...please try again"

I don't know... However I did purchase Win XP Home Edition upgrade to
upgrade my other home computer from Win ME to Win XP... do you think that
would work?

Thanks,

Jon

What version of IE are you running? Had you tried the IE7 beta?
While earlier versions of the IE7 beta did not work right with
Money, the latest version might. It might be worth trying, but be
prepared to uninstall it if it does not help.

What would it take to get a Windows XP home disk via Dell? I don't
mean the restore disk that would overwrite your data files and
setups. I would want to have that disk-- if not for this problem,
then for potential future actions. With a Windows XP disk, you can
reinstall Windows without killing your data or application installs.

I have Win XP Home Edition SP2

I uninstalled MS Money 2003 SBE and loaded the trial for Money 2006 Deluxe.
After purchasing the Deluxe version I uninstalled the trial version.

I am not able to install 2006 Deluxe from the CD. I get a message that says
all the required components could not be installed, try the installation
again. Nothing works. I spoke with MS support and they said I need to do one
of the following:

1) uninstall and reinstall IE 6 - which I cannot figure out how to do with
Win XP Home Edition SP2 (there are articles for SP1...)

2) get secedit.exe and secedit.chm from Win XP Pro and run the executable to
restore the security settings in IE. I can't find a way to get those files
though - Dell won't give them to me even though I have their next day on site
support (that is only for HW I guess and this is a SW issue....)

Anyone else have this problem and/or any advice?

Thanks,

Jon
