I am getting the same thing on my Mac, OSX running 10.2.4. Can't
launch, can't reinstall, have other browsers, but need IE occasionally
for those web sites that are IE only.

Any other ideas?

Mickey Stevens posted to this group a good fix for this:

Drag Macintosh HD/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.

If that doesn't help, try moving the Macintosh HD/Users/<Your
User>/Library/Preferences/Explorer to the Desktop and see if that
helps. If
so, drag the "Favorites.html" file into the new Explorer folder within
the
Preferences folder, and delete the rest. If not, move the folder back.

If that doesn't help, try repairing permissions.
For OS 10.2.x:
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:
