Where can I download IE 5.5 or IE 6?

[zzyzzx]

Not the stupid little setup program, the whole thing as a file that I can burn to a CD or keep as a file? You can do this with Netscape.

Do you have a MS office CD?

Can't you get it off AOL CD?

I probably have an old MS Office CD which is unlikely to have a recent version of IE. Will check the next AOL CD I see...

Prefer the DL cause I have a thumb drive on loan this week...

You do not want to do that.

They use a customized version that is tailored for AOL.

prev versions are here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak/previous/default.mspx

if you want to store the setup files on cd for later use, it becomes more complicated IF you download setup packages for ALL Windows systems ie 98 through XP, and then run the setup on an OS other than the machine you downloaded from. I found it wouldn't work without re-downloading the filelist.dat for the necessary OS and cabs files again. Solution? Perhaps download all the OS options separately if you want all OS options? It worked for me...

I found the answer in MS Knowledgebase Article Q257249, which explains these switches in detail.

Note: Double quotation marks around the variable #e are required, because #e designates the source path, including executable, of the Ie5setup.exe or Ie6setup.exe as appropriate.

/c:"ieXwzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

The following is an explanation of the command line switches used:

/d - Downloads Internet Explorer for the current platform only. However, if you would like to download all platforms, you can use the /d:1 switch value to get all platforms. There are only two values for this switch, /d and /d:1.

/s:""<#e>"" - Designates the source path of Ie5setup.exe. The ""<#e>"" value refers to the full path and name of the .exe file. Note that two pairs of double quotation marks must surround the path.


IE 5.5 is also here http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/5.5_SP2
