Re: Win2k IE6 Download problems

Most likely you need to install the latest WGA ActiveX Control (validate
your Windows version) before you can install the downloaded file(s). You
need to explore why the "network connection...fails".

I'd confine further posts about this problem to the Windows Update-specific
newsgroup (microsoft.public.windowsupdate), to which I'm crossposting this
reply.
