Some PCs are upgraded to IE 5.5 or IE 6.0.
If it is corrupted, you can not uninstall from control panel >> add or remove programs.

Reinstallation does not resolve issue. If you try to install lower version, it gives errror like as "higher version is already running, first uninstall it".

I have used Technet article how to manually uninstall IE. I have created very long batch file and tested but that did not helped me. Do not post any URL from Microsoft.

The way I am fixing this problem is delete IE directory. remove all entries of IE from registry. Restart PC. Install IE 5 and then upgrade to IE 5.5

I have tried many utlities for uninstallation but none of them are working. If anybody have idea for tested and trusted uninstallation utility, I will appreciate to know it. Or how to resolve above issue.

Thanks in advance for help.

I don't know a utility for that, but a full install of IE5 or IE5.5 allow after that to repair or uninstall and restore previous version (I have this problem but before I install this version IE5 I have on computer version 4.1)

I have tried to repair installation. Installation process works fine, but again IE does not start.
This is one kind of reinstallation, but that does not resolve issue.
Thanks for your efforts. I think most of the tech people might have faced this problem. Becuase I have come across 3 to 4 times in last yr.
