IE6




This is an active setup and will only download components you select for your OS.
To download the whole code for all Windows versions you need to use a special command.
First create a folder c:\ie6,
then download the above file to that folder (burn this to your CD to copy to the other computer) then,
Start the run dialog and type this command WITH quotes!!
"C:\ie6\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

This WILL do it for you! Cheers!

thanks so much for the tip

i am having a bit of trouble doing it though...i have made the directory in C:\ie6

copied the installer into the directory....

then went to the start command and did what you said

"C:\ie6\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

and all it gives me in that folder is a couple of small files....nothing big...i am trying to install this on windows millenium
but i don't know why it won't copy the files to that directory

if u can shed some light on this i would appreciate it

Try this leeland ...go to the C:\ie6 folder once you've copied it to the computer you want to install it on and double click on "ie6setup.exe"


I used to use this on Win2k installations and I'm a little rusty about it now. This will work.
