You waited all of 1½ hours before beginning this new thread. Please
understand that we're all volunteers here (even MVPs), it's a weekend (with
lots of football!), everyone's running around doing holiday shopping and
living lives outside of this newsgroup. Be patient and see what others
might have to contribute eventually to your original thread.

To reinstall IE6 SP1 in Win2K, you would first have to uninstall all Service
Packs (including Win2K SP4 Rollup 1) that were installed after IE6 was
installed.

You should be able to (re)install Windows 5.6 Script Engine independent of
reinstalling IE6:

Any number of third-party apps (e.g., Norton products) are known to
uninstall or befoul this, Ed.

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update?

Good luck.
