You asked, I answered. If you feel another forum better suits your needs,
post there instead.

The error points to a problem with both your install of IE6 and your
Operating System. As you're not able to overinstall and since you can't use
Repair, your best bet would be to (1) uninstall the problem IE6, (2)
reinstall Win98 and then (3) upgrade to IE6 SP1 again.

You could also download the critical updates (e.g., from Windows Update
Catalog) using Firefox and then install them manually.

Have a very nice day, Flaky.
