I keep getting the message
"The download location information is damaged."
"The download location information is damaged."
Ive been getting that msg too, not sure what the heck it means
I get the same error. I also noticed that the beta Preview site has gone down.
Indeed. The file is not there. I also tried running an older copy of the setup exe I have, but it asked for a password. Hmm. Not so public afterall!

Give me an address and I'll posted it you like (email/ftp/etc). Its an older version though but I assume the setup file hasn't changed.

IE has not been "officialy" released by MS yet. But here's a link to Build 2462. Both for 9x & NT.

I really wouldn't install it if I were you. I did.
Basically, the uninstall won't work, which would be okay if it weren't for the fact that the right mouse button menus no longer work since installing IE6. (ie. I can no longer right-click on a link and select "Open in new window" etc...) Probably why they pulled the damn thing.
Other than waiting for them to release a newer, fixed version, my only other course of action is to reinstall windows (again).

the new build must be all bugfixes cause i don't notice any diff when aplied to whistler 2446
Me either. I went from IE 5.01->IE6 B2411->2462.
Not much of a diff. I haven't had the issues that Xiven has had.

Well I'm on Win2k and I upgraded from IE5.5 SP1 to the public beta of IE6.
For now I'm putting up with shift-clicking on links to open in a new window. Dunno if a newer release is gonna fix my problem or not. May still have to reinstall windows (only did it 2 weeks ago grrrrrrrr).

Xiven,
You can save yourself a s.hitload of hassle by creating an image with norton Ghost or Drive image pro. You would then be back to normal with W2k etc in 10 minutes.
If there is any application that is worth its money, its Norton Ghost.

Hmmmm... well I just did a repair of win2k and it's all happy now Think I'll stick to IE 5 for now.

One thing I do like about it WAY FASTER very fast that is so it got a few bug that why you need send a bug report so that it look at if not then that problem you haveing may show up in final ver.

SHS - yeah I know. I'm not moaning, I'm just warning others of the fact that it may happen to them. As for reporting the bug; I would if their beta site were online, but it's not so I can't.
arghh!! as if that download site wasn't bad enough (speedwise) it took me over an hour to grab 9.77MB of 9.90MB and what happens? it just froze! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
woooohooooooooo! on the brighter side, that post made me a senior member!
