Running Windows Update with Win98SE and IE6, I get this new little gem - You have an older version of Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools. If you would like to download additional components from the Windows Update catalog, you must first upgradeto the latest version.

I've tried the registry edit fix on the MS site, but no luck

Any help out there?

IE6 does not install the same way that IE5 does. A lot of IE6 development was done during the first anti-trust trials. MS may have had to remove the browser from the OS. IE6 is basically stand alone and it never really replaced the IE5 system on your computer.
