That might just be why it was checking for the presence of IE6. A pretty  
clumbsy way of ensuring certain base files are there.

Nonsense, then every prog would be misled as to what is present on the  
system.

It would be better is programs checked for what they really need rather  
than forcing users to install IE crap they dont want for a couple of dlls  
but that is pretty typical of a lot of what is produced under windows, and  
it sounds like this is not very good software either.
