I can't install explorer for mac - I install it and double click on
the icon but it fails to launch. I just get the alert to send a report
to apple.... I have tried everything I can think of but just can't get
it to open. Any ideas?

Drag /Users/<Your User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist
and com.microsoft.explorer.plist to the Desktop.  Re-launch Internet
Explorer and see if it crashes.  If it still does, move the Internet
Preferences files back.  If it does not, you can trash the Internet
Preferences files.

Try repairing permissions.
For OS 10.2/10.3:  
Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities.  Open up Disk Utility.  Select
your hard disk, then click the First Aid tab.   Click the button to "Repair
Disk Permissions".

For OS 10.1.5:
Download the Repair Privileges utility, free from Apple, and run it:

Run Disk First Aid.  Instructions on how to run it in OS X are located on
the Apple Knowledge Base.
