IE6 installed from IEAK CD is not recognized as installed by Windows Update

Windows update shows IE6 is not installed after IE6 is installed from IEAK
IE6 CD on Windows 98 and 2000 Pro. Reinstalling from Windows Update solves
the problem, but I do not have the bandwith to allocate to a network wide
IE6 internet download. Is there a registry edit that will convince Windows
Update that IE6 is already installed on these Windows 98 and 2000 Pro
computers? Incidently, I have recreated my IEAK CDs and have also tried my
ISP's IE6 Cd.

Thank you,
Bob Genestet

Spend $5 and get the IE6 w/SP1 CD.

There is a registry edit here :
How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in
Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378
that triggers WU to install IE 6. It is the same key on my 98/ME/XP Pro
systems. Having the value data for the key set to "1" should get Win Up
to recognize IE6's installation :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

ValueData " IsInstalled"=1

There are 2 identical keys for 98, the first one shows
(Default)"Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools", the second shows
(Default)"Windows Desktop Update" . There is only one key for XP Pro -
(Default)"Internet Explorer 6".
Editing the value to "IsInstalled"=0 causes Win Up to prompt to install,
as stated in the KB article.
