So what was you IE before v5.0?
Well I use Win98 I have IE6.0 on a CD no problem. When I wanted to upgrade to IE6.0
SP1 you download an small installation file from M$ and run that. This starts the
installation process but you need web access to download all the necessary files.
I use Dial-up so this process can take up to 1 hour.
I normally format and rebuild every 6 months. One time I lost my web connection and
so the process stopped. I got the connection back and it carried on downloading and
installed no problem. It downloads all the files to a folder in Windows.
So as I don't have this problem everytime I want to do a rebuild I burnt all the
files from this Windows folder to a CD. The next time I did a rebuild I put the CD
in and ran the setup. I got a message back you need to be connected to the internet
for additional files. I connected for a couple of minutes and it installed no problem.
Another way you can install IE6.0 SP1 is get some ones ISP installation CD. I use
BTinternet and on their later installation CD is IE6.0 SP1 so I don't need to download
anything now.
Check a few ISP's of your friends.
