The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

IE 6 Download-only Setup for Win 98, NT, 2K, ME & XP

Zone: New Internet Users

Tags: download, 6, ie, 98

My system consists of the following:

Dimension 8200 Series, Pentium 4 Processor at 2.0 Ghz
200 Megabyte Hard Drive
250 Megabyte Iomega Zip Internal Drive
24x/10x/40x CD-RW Drive
48x CD-ROM Drive
4x Sony DRX510UL DVD-RW Drive(USB 2.0)
256 Megabyte PC800 RDRAM
64 Megabyte GeForce4 MX Graphics Card with TV-Out
SB Live! 1024 Digital Sound Card

I have Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 installed on my PC. I need to find a way to download the complete installation files for Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 for Windows 98, NT, 2K, ME and XP. I believed that I had found just the thing on Webpage

http://www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html

However, I followed the instructions on that Webpage and the procedure terminated with no error messages or explanation every time I tried it. I suspect that the "Command" that the Webpage suggested that I use is a little too cryptic for me to figure out. Anyway, I know that you guys are plenty smart and can tell me how to perform this task with no problems whatsoever. I would prefer to have five different folders, each with the installations files for its Internet Explorer 6.0 version. Thanks in advance.

spiderfix:

There's a a link on that page that leads to here...
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/microsoft/ie/6.0sp1/
...why not just download it.

===============

NOTE: In http://www.experts-exchange.com/Q_20763918.html spiderfix explains that the above link is for the German version of IE. If you want the English version, please see his final comment below.

jarjarbinx1979:

Download the following http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/ie6setup.exe
Once downloaded type this command "C:\Downloads\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E" (assuming you have placed the above file in c:\downloads). A wizard should appear agree to the agreement and click next now the wizard will now give you the option on which operating system you wish to download for and where to save the files.

Repaet for all other o\s

Hope this helps

Steve:
Your answer takes me to the same "Wizard" that I found using the link:

http://www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html

The results, for me are the same. The wizard terminates while it is gathering the infomation I want to download for the particular operating system I first chose. It creates the folder on my Hard Drive and places two files in it, "filelist.dat & iesetup.dir". It goes no further than that. So, no, your suggestion did not help me at all.

Madison2004:

If you haven't already, try running the official download command (ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E") from an older version of Windows. I had the same problem as JWILKEY when trying to download IE 6 from Windows XP Pro. (SP1), but the same command worked fine from an installation of Windows 2000 Server (SP4). Perhaps Microsoft hasn't fully tested IE6SETUP.EXE in Windows XP, assuming XP users won't need to download IE 6 because it's already integrated into the OS.

zidodiz:

Seems like microsoft made some kind of mistake here. You have to add the /d:1 option that is
/c:"ie6wzd.exe /d:1 /s:""#E"
should be run instead orelse the setup program thinks you wants to install IE6 to your current platform which is Win XP. But if you use /d:1 all platforms will be choosen as standard and you can just uncehck the boxes of the OPs you don´t want. This seems to be just like your first try (in the end only Win 98 is checked) except know it will work, the wizard won´t be interrupted.

Good luck.

Hello all,

All of your suggestions are of no use to this individual except for spiderfix's download link at planetmirror.com. The issue with the 'ie6setup.exe /C:"/d /s:""E#"' command is this:

I have a WinXP box that just plain won't connect to MS Win Update. Anyway, I tried the above command on my Windows 2000 Server SP4 box, which I had already upgraded to IE6 SP1. The download abruptly halts at around 7MB. It said something about losing the internet connection. Strangely enough, the text displayed in the wizard was that it was checking the signature of Internet Explorer. So I went into the registry and hacked the Internet Explorer Build, Version, and W2kVersion values. That didn't work either. IE6SETUP.EXE is actually checking the iexplorer.exe binary signature in the exectuable. You can't really trick it, unless you turn of Windows File Protection and temporarily rename iexplorer.exe (and I'm not even sure that that would work).

Again, I

accidentally hit submit (stupid forum has no edit link).

Again, I'm downloading from the link supplied by spiderfix. That seems to be the best bet for damaged WinXP systems which need to have IE6 re-installed without using the 'handy' internet installer.

Regards,

Craig
