Since you obviously doesn't believe this is a bug, let's take this discussion on the devel list, instead of ping-ponging between RESOLVED/REOPENED.
------- Additional Comments From truiken@gmail.com 2006-13-06 03:21 ------- Either way, the bug is: wine does not provide inseng.dll, which ie6setup.exe requires.
You don't need to tell me that over and over; I did understand the first time. But again, I *have* installed inseng.dll. I've tried the same version that comes with the IE download package. I've tried the version from Windows XP. I've tried the version from Windows 2000.
I've also registered the DLL with:
$ wine regsvr32 inseng.dll
which gave me:
"Successfully registered DLL inseng.dll"
So I have a hard time believing that inseng.dll is the cause of my problems.
If you're having problems with native dlls, that's not wine's bug.
Strange comment.
Marking as a duplicate, but it really should be invalid, worksforme, etc.
If you don't think this is a duplicate, why mark it as that?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1293 ***
I don't believe this is a duplicate of 1293. A comment on that bug says, which you have written yourself, says:
"ie6setup.exe claims that it can't download the setup files because inseng.dll is not registered."
Again, it doesn't look like this is my problem. Also, the error message is different.

ie6setup fails with "Yhe download location information is damaged"
I have seen this problem recently and I can confirm that it also happens when trying to install IE6 on Windows 98.
Here is what happens based on Ethereal traces and a good deal of patience. When you install IE6 it downloads the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6sp1/download/rtw/x86/ie6sites.dat
The first time a computer (i.e. an IP address as visible from the Internet) tries to get that URL, it gets a 216 byte HTML file. Here it is in full:
--- cut here --- <HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0.1; URL=/windows/ie/ie6sp1/download/rtw/x86/ie6sites.dat"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1"> </HEAD></HTML> --- cut here ---
This is not what the IE6 installer expects and whenever it gets that it prints the error message mentionned above, even when running on Windows.
However, if you redownload that URL within 20 minutes after that first try, you should get a 2788 bytes file that lists the available download servers. This is what the IE6 installer wants and then it will work fine (at least in CrossOver, there may be other issues in Wine).
In some cases I only got the expected file on the third try. This is easy to check by running wget a couple of times. The 20 minutes have been determined through (automated) trial and error and are very annoying when trying to reproduce the problem. My guess would be that this is a configuration bug in Microsoft's server and that they don't care much since nobody installs IE6 from scratch (it comes preinstalled on Windows XP and greater).
So it's really not Wine's fault and there is not much it can do to work around that bug.
