IE 6 Security patch install failure

[rebbasser]

Posted this before, thought it might have been my system. It isn't. Tried to download Security update dated 12/13/01. Downloads fine, but when I try to install I get a message stating IE 6 needs to be installed. Can and have installed a couple of the other updates for IE6. MS website is absolutely worthless for this problem. Found a ms newsgroup that quite a few people are having this problem, and they are running winxp. Any suggestions?
