The IE installer asks me for a password (what's that about?) to
upgrade from 5.2.0 to 5.2.3 on Mac OS 10.3.  Anyone have any clues
where this mysterious password lives?  My system is not
password-protected, and since I can't give the password, I can't
upgrade.  It feels very Kafka-esque to me.  Thanks!
