Q263215

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.01 Service Pack 1 for Windows 2000

-

SYMPTOMS
You cannot perform a &quot;download-only&quot; installation of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 (SP1) in Microsoft Windows 2000.

CAUSE
This behavior is caused by a change in Internet Explorer 5.01 SP1 Setup to allow installation on Windows 2000. Because Internet Explorer 5.01 SP1 only installs the core browser, scripting, and Microsoft Outlook Express files in Windows 2000, the Install Minimal, or customize your browser option is not available during installation. Therefore, the Component Options dialog box is not available and you cannot use the Download Only option.

RESOLUTION
To perform a &quot;download-only&quot; installation from the Internet:


 * 1) On the Internet Explorer download page, save the Ie5setup.exe file to your hard disk (in any folder).
 * 2) Click Start, and then click Run.
 * 3) Click Browse, locate the folder in which you saved the Ie5setup.exe file, click the file, and then click Open.
 * 4) In the Open box, click at the end of the command, and then type a space followed by the following line:
 * 5) Press ENTER, click I accept the agreement, and then click Next.
 * 6) Type the complete path for the location to which you want to download the Internet Explorer 5.01 SP1 files, and then click Next.

NOTE: The check boxes for Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows NT are not available in the Download Options dialog box when you use this method in Windows 2000. You must download the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 files from a computer that is running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0. To download Internet Explorer to a network drive, you must map the network drive to a drive letter on your computer. You cannot download Internet Explorer to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path.

MORE INFORMATION
You can use the command line in the &quot;Resolution&quot; section for all operating systems, but it is designed to assist Windows 2000 users. Note that when you use this command line, the check box for Windows 2000 is not available in the Download Options dialog box if you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0. You must download Windows 2000 files from a Windows 2000-based computer.

To perform a quiet &quot;download only&quot; installation for the current operating system, type the following line:

"&quot;C:\Windows Update Setup Files\ie5setup.exe&quot; /c:&quot;ie5wzd.exe /d /q /s:&quot;&quot;#E&quot;&quot;&quot;" To perform a quiet &quot;download only&quot; installation for all available operating systems, type the following command:

"&quot;C:\Windows Update Setup Files\ie5setup.exe&quot; /c:&quot;ie5wzd.exe /d:1 /q /s:&quot;&quot;#E&quot;&quot;&quot;" Note that there are only two options available when you perform a quiet &quot;download only&quot; installation: Current and All. There is no way to perform a quiet &quot;download only&quot; installation for specific operating systems.
