Post by ToMi1 »

I read about Intenet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01, but I don't see any 4.00 around. Does this vesion actually exist? Thank you.

What makes you think that there would be a special 4.00 build? The fact the decimal length was increased for the minor update to 4.01?
It's 4.0 then 4.01.

Oh ok. I just found some Internet Explorer 4.0 in Czech language disc on the internet to buy and upload to the FTP, but I don't know if it really is 4.0, as on the BA Database I saw only Czech versions of 4.01.

Link to that disc: https://aukro.cz/ms-internet-explorer-4-0-6973880246

Based on the 09/97 date on back, it could actually be 4.0 and not 4.01.
But who knows if they just didn't make too many sleeves and then reused them for 4.01 discs.

My Czech IE 4.01 disc has date 12/97 and sleeve is 01/98.

It can also be installed in Windows 95 (32-bits) or 3.11 and NT3.51 (16-bits).
I test that with another forum files and it work perfectly on all of these system with my websites.
My websites projects was optimized for IE3 minimum. It render very beautiful in IE4 ! :D

I poked around with some beta builds of 95 and some very early releases and yeah, it says IE 4.00. I'm curious though, is there a version that came with even older IE versions?

There is some IE in Plus 95!, i think it's version 3. I have vers 2.00 and 3.00 here as separate installs.

Win95 OSR2.5 has 3.02 on it, and NT4 has 4.40 on it. 4.00 is scarse because i think it ran into font licencing problems.

Win95 OSR 2.5 has IE 4.0 RTM on it, NT 4.0 has IE 2.0 and Windows 98 FE has IE 4.01 with SP1.

The cdrom has a separate version of Explorer, at 3.02. I looked at the ISO files, not what was installed.
