The machine will need two (2) sets of updates.

First take the machine to Windows Update http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
to install IE6-SP1. Follow all prompts. You will finally be prompted to
reboot.

After rebooting, return to Windows Update to download/install further
patches/updates to IE6-SP1 which will include at least one of the 13 Apr-04
updates.

To assure a clean install, close all other Windows-based applications,
including the anti-virus, before installing anything.

It's best to allow the Windows Update scanning engine to identify needed
updates instead of picking and choosing ones you think you need.
