To perform a download-only from the Internet:

On the following Internet Explorer download page, click the appropriate language version to download the Ie5setup.exe file:


http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/ie55sp1.htm
Click Save to Disk, and then save the file to a folder on your computer.


Click Start, and then click Run.


Click Browse, browse to the folder in which you saved the Ie5setup.exe file, click the file, and then click Open.


In the Open box, click at the end of the command, and then type the following line:


/c:"ie5wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""
For example, if you saved the Ie5setup.exe file in the C:\Windows Update Setup Files folder, the command looks like:
"C:\Windows Update Setup Files\ie5setup.exe" /c:"ie5wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"
Press ENTER. Choose the appropriate items for the operating system.


NOTE: 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 UNC path.


I hope this helps. It sure helped me, so I share.

What was the total size of the down load for you guys. The total download for me was 6140kb. That seems kind of small consiering all of the bloat in current software.

Well. It is just an upgrade to the winodws 2000 default of IE5.

I guess I need to read some more. I'd like to have the entire IE 5.5 SP1 contents on my hard drive, but right now I have to settle for the installed version.

I have IE55SP1 for *all* Windows OSes 95->2K and it's about 70MB or so. It is so much easier to do the full download from Win9x.
