Where can I download full versions of Netscape 6.1 and Internet Explorer 6?

[Nosferatu]

All I can find is the basic installer files. I need the whole executable. Any help would be great!

I just did this earlier today for Internet Explorer 6. It's a long command:

First off, you need to download the installer file. It's called ie6setup.exe. Save it to a folder on your C: Drive called ie6 (make a new one, whatever). Then type the follow command exactly as it is here, cut and paste if needed.

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

That will save all the *.cab files to your c:\ie6 directory. Click on the ie6setup.exe inside that directory to do the install.

If you save to a different folder (say c:\diff), change ONLY the "ie6" part. It would be:

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




*edit* you DO need the quotation marks. Put it in exactly like that.

Thanks fopr the quick response. Question though.

Where do I type this command to?

Edit: Ok I think I figured it out I did it from the run command.

Any ideas about Netscape 6.1?

 

[huanaku]

yeah, do it from the run command. As for netscape, I'm looking.

 

[huanaku]

netscape

That link allows you to do full downloads, don't know if 6.1 is in there though ...

 

[Nosferatu]

Nope it only has 4.78. Well I am doing this as a favor for a person with 56k connection. She should be ok with that and the IE 6.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.

IE is WAY better than netscape, IMO. I'd take mozilla over netscape, anyways.

Not 100% sure on Netscape 6.1 but I know their ftp site usually has full downloads. Its just ftp.netscape.com

I havent tried IE 6.
Only 4.78 and 6.1

Personally I prefer Netscape. Aside from some sites not coded correctly for it, It has what I need and doesn't seem prone to crashes or anything.

I was raised on Netscape and I guess it's hard to use IE unless I have to. Kinda like using Outlook. I dont even know what it looks like. I have been using Eudora Light. But seeing as how I am almost halfway through my MCSE I guess I need to open Outlook sometime.

The one really nice thing about Eudora though is that you are not a virus target. Almost all email viruses go through Outlook. and its address book. That in itself makes me kinda wary. I keel up to date on Antivirus, but still. Infecting all my buddies.....

I've been using Eudora for years, I really don't like Outlook, etc. I used netscape back in 95 and 96, but it's fallen behind since then. Opera is pretty nice though.

for msie download, it's been covered all over in the software forum ...
but someone posted the answer already, so nevermind ...

as for the link to netscape provided above, yes it's for 4.78

for netscape 6.1, follow this link

i've been using netscape messenger for emails, since it comes with netscape (which is my primary browser)
i personally don't like netscape 6.x though ... the bookmark system is one of the things that i hate about it (it won't span to the side anymore if it's more than one page -- it's using the msie mode which i hate :| )

I agree I hate the bookmardks too. Unfortunately I dont think they will change it. As for the software part of the forum, I never visit there. I guess I should .....
