C.C.,

Give this a shot. Show hidden files, folders, and system files :

Create a folder in My Documents and name it IEBak.
Navigate to Program Files\Internet Explorer\Uninstall Information
Move the *contents* of that folder to IEBak.
If you've download the full IE setup then boot to Safe Mode and install it.
If you haven't, here's a method to do so :

IF IE SP1 installs then you can delete the entire IEBak folder.
If it does not, move the *contents* of IEBak back to their original
location, Program Files\Internet Explorer\Uninstall Information.
