What system do you use? If it's Windows 2K you can use FDV's fileset and remove files with a couple of reducing files in HFCLEANUP folder (or don't remove files as FDV's fileset will kill OE use in the system anyway 
If you use XP you can also use some reducing but you have to find right SETUPAPI.DL_ to change one in your source (it will turn off file protecting and let you remove them without errors after installing Windows).

Then you can try FDV's fileset But if you don't want to use the fileset and prefer staying with IE you can try to test this method (and let us know about the result):
1. Download FDV's fileset.
2. Inside HFSLIP directory creat two folders: FIX and HFCLEANUP.
3. Place SETUPAPI.DL_, SFC.DL_, SFCFILES.DL_ from FDV's fileset into FIX folder (in theory you only need the first one but to be sure first try with all three).
4. Place OE.REM and OE.RIN into HFCLEANUP folder.
5. Run HFSLIP and install the resulting source on VirtualPC to see if OE is gone and everything works OK.
OE-WAB.REM:
OE-WAB.RIN:

where do i find OE.REM and OE.RIN
You can copy and past into notepad the contents of these boxes each by each and save two files with these two names.
NOTE: Please make sure you do not have a blank line in a file or it can cause the troubles!
This will delete the files of OE from your installation source. The instructions about these files and some samples can be found here
And I suggest you also try FDV's full fileset also

Now try only use SETUPAPI.DL_ because two other files remove file protection. And let us know if it works 
Oleg, using only the setupapi.dll will let the windows install without a hitch. But there will be empty residual folders in the Program Files folder. Other than that, it will operate the same.

Because HFSLIP can do it too.
i like HFSlip a lot better than nlite
