Internet Explorer 6.0 - Error message

Question

In trying to re-install Internet Explorer 6.0 I receive the following message: 'A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete the installation before running IE setup'. I have Windows 98 SE and my original version of IE was 5.0. I downloaded IE 6.0 some time ago. I got a virus and was forced to 'recover' the system. Everything went OK. I ended up with IE 5.0 and in trying to reinstall IE 6.0 I am getting the message mentioned above. I checked the data base and there is a document mentioning exactly the same 'message' with a solution for a reboot for Windows ME. Can I follow the steps mentioned there although my system is Windows 98 SE? Thank you for your help. RamÃ³n

Thank you Stinger for your answer.

I have been restarting the computer and trying to download IE 6.0 but I am getting the same old message.

Am sorry for the ignorance but may be downloading is different than re-installing. If that is the case I do not know how to re-install IE 6.0

Thank you in advance if you can continue helping me.
