IE 6 update fails

I have downloaded the complete IE 6 install files for Win2k (approx 12MB
worth) including all the cabs and such. When I go to install the setup
still appears to try to access the web and then it says it is installing,
yet the install progress for each step never gets above 0%, then it says
that setup failed. How can I stop it from trying to access the web during
setup, and is there a way to manually install the program?

I have tried multiple times to install using windows update, off a CD, off
my harddrive with all the setup files there!! Everytime it acts like it
wants to access the internet to get more/same/other files, and it doen't
even hit my network connection and then fails. I need to know if there is
something I can do to the setup.inf file or someting to get it to try to
load directly from the filse I already have...

I suggest he post about it here, as well. (Sounds like a WGA issue?)

I went to windows update and install all activex updates and still not able
to update to IE 6. It is like there is some malicious code that is not
allowing me to update. I have ran several online virus/spyware scans and
still not able to upgrade. My original reason to upgrade was to be able to
install McAfee Security Suite, which requires IE 6.....What can I do?

Are you now attempting to install IE6 SP1 via Windows Update, the CD, or the
files you downloaded? What happens now when you attempt the install via
Windows Update? ...using the CD? ...using the downloaded files? (From
where did you get the CD and download the IE6 SP1 files?)

Are Win2K SP2 and Win2KSP4 Rollup 1 already installed?
