SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Internet Explorer over a network from a shared installation files folder that was downloaded from the Internet to a Windows 95-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
NOTE: Internet Explorer installation files are downloaded to the Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup folder by default.
CAUSE
This error message can occur if the Ie4mfc40.cab cabinet file is missing from the installation files folder.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, have your network administrator download the Internet Explorer installation files to the Windows 95-based computer by following these steps:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type the following command (including quotation marks), and then click OK
<path>\ie4setup.exe /c:"ie4wzd /s#e /d:0"
where <path> is the full path to the Internet Explorer installation files folder.
For example, if the Internet Explorer installation files are located in the Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup folder, type the following command (including quotation marks):c:\internet explorer 4.0 setup\ie4setup.exe /c:"ie4wzd /s#e /d:0"
- After the files are downloaded, copy or move the Ie4setup.exe file to the folder in which you downloaded the Internet Explorer installation files.
NOTE: The Ie4setup.exe file is not copied to the installation files folder during the download.
MORE INFORMATION
When you download the Internet Explorer installation files from the Internet to a Windows 95-based computer, the Ie4mfc40.cab cabinet file is not downloaded if the following files are already installed on the computer:
- Mfc40.dll
- Msvcrt40.dll
- Olepro32.dll
NOTE: These files are installed by Internet Explorer 3.x, Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2), and other Microsoft programs.
The procedure above downloads all of the Internet Explorer cabinet files, regardless of whether a particular file is already installed on the computer.
