Hey,
If you're still having this problem, please make sure you are not on a remote or network-mounted drive. IE6 setup checks if the drive is remote, and will not install if it is, complaining with the completely non-related error that "The download location information is damaged." If you're not sure whether you're on a remote drive or not, and the IE6 setup is still not working, please post back and attach a +volume trace. I was frustrated that the setup was not working on my work machine, while it was on my home machine. Reading through a +all log showed that GetDriveTypeW was returning 4 for my work machine, which is DRIVE_REMOTE, and then it would fail with the message box. Hacking GetDriveTypeW to always return DRIVE_FIXED let me install onto my remote drive.
Alternatively, you can go into winecfg->Drives->Show Advanced and change the Type from Autodetect to "Local hard disk".
