This prevents the endless looping, there is some mailing list discussion on this if you search for "CommonUnimpStub" but still IE5.5 will not install, now it drops out with a generic Windows error box, "Not all components installed". Very difficult to find which file it failed on, will try strace. MS-Windows software is unbelievably painful to debug.
