What operating system are you running? That is a common error occurs when you do not have XP/2003 SP2 installed and you try to install IE8. Try upgrading to SP2.

Hi, This behavior can happen when Internet Explorer has the incorrect version of the Shlwapi.dll file installed. You may copy and install a different version of Shlwapi.dll onto your computer from a computer that is running the same version of Internet Explorer, and that is not experiencing the same behavior. I would like to suggest you refer to the following Microsoft KB articles for how to troubleshoot this Internet Explorer 8 installation issue: How to solve Internet Explorer 8 installation problems http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949220 Random Error Messages in Internet Explorer If You Have the Incorrect Version of the Shlwapi.dll File Installed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/284706 Regards,Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
