No, AFAIK it's mot a bug. ...SP1 is a previous update of IE6, and you
don't need it. The roll-up includes it, that's why ...SP1 disappears.

No, it's not an issue, since you use Add/Remove Windows Componnents to
reinstall IE6. If that doesn't work, you go to MS's website and d/l IE6,
and install it. It will be in a self-extracting *.exe file. You will
have to use anither machine, and burn the file onto a CD so you can
install it from your machine.

Actually, most of the time, you don't need to reinstall IE6. Make a
system back-up. When your machine is working as it should, go to
Accessories --> System --> Backup, and follow instructions. I make a
system state backup, but if you have enough disk-space, make a complete
back up. (You will need several gigabytes of diskpace for a complete
backup, and it should be on a separate partiton, or better yet a
separate physical disk. A system state backup takes only few hundred
megabytes, and can be stored in its own folder.)
If IE6 disappears or acts funny, just Restore the backup, and IE6 should
work just the way it did when you backed up the system state. If it
doesn't, you have very serious problems, and will need more than a Restore.
HTH.
