Again, I think we are facing several problems here:

1) The MS Web server bug. Causes error "Thw download location information is
damaged." Can be solved just by trying again, or "prefetching" the file with
"wget http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6sp1/download/rtw/x86/ie6sites.dat"

2) Some other problem which causes the installation program to not even try to
fetch the file. Also causes the error  "The download location information is
damaged". See comment #12. This problem is that this bug should focus on, IMHO.
As you point out, we can't fix the MS server. I've confirmed this problem on one
machine only, but with many versions of Wine.  

3) The need for inseng.dll. Can be solved either by downloading the native
inseng.dll, or use the patch pointed out in comment #13. 

4) The problem that IE doesn't *run*, after installation. Confirmed by me and
Dan Kegel. Bug 5463. 

Until we have found out why ie6setup.exe doesn't even try to download files on
one of my machines, this bug should be left open, IMO.
