I would think it's wrong, yes. It looks like it's a kludge to work around
issues with IE7, and somebody thought loading the IE6 exe from that backup
folder was a way around it. Obviously it doesn't work correctly as you've
discovered. It may have worked 18 months ago, but IE patches may have
rendered that workaround useless as you are discovering.
And as to "worked of year pre-IE7", how so? The IE7 folder doesn't exist
until IE7 is installed, so could not possibly have worked if you only had
IE6. If you really have been using this path for the past couple of years,
then you've had IE7 installed a lot longer than you realise. I'm assuming
that you meant you just used the path to IE6 before and have changed it to
the new folder, but your reply is a little vague.

I personally would try the full path to IE7 first. That article is about
receiving an error message - until you try the full path, you don't know if
you get that error message. Plus it also states that when you press OK the
page is loaded as normal.
Those documents are also both over 18 months old now.

What's the error? The one in CTX112195?
CTX112195 states that the other workaround is to uninstall IE7, so you're
back to IE6 again. Why can't you do that?
