IE6 SP1 on most ISP CD's Saturday, April 7, 2007 at 3:43 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DNA (552 messages posted) Most Internet Service Provider CD's have an IE6 Setup.exe on them, not just AOL's. If you install IE6 SP1 before you go to the Windows Update site, it works just fine. I've verified this with several fresh Windows 98SE installs that I've done this year (2007). It appears that IE6 is now a requirement for using Windows Update. If you go to Windows Update with a Windows 2000 computer using IE 5.01, the site will state that IE6 is required to use Windows Update (but at least it doesn't think you're on a Mac!). ----------------------------------------------------------- Athlon 1.1 - 768 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Home Athlon 3000+ 64 - 1024 MB RAM = 98SE (@768 MB RAM) & XP Pro IBM ThinkPad PIII 900 - 384 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Pro SP2 Windows 2000 Server in the basement Written in response to: Internet Exploder 6 is on your old AOL CDs (gewg_: Friday, April 6, 2007 at 6:09 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
