would like to save downloads of ie6 for different Oses

[jazzisjazz]

I have tried the instructions that should do this

First, download the IE6 SP1 setup program from HERE (500kb basic setup program. The full IE package might go as high as ~44mb depending upon your selection). This tip will let you customize the d/l parameters.

Go to the folder where you've placed the above file. Open a Command Prompt (CMD) in that folder, then run the following command in the CMD window:

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

Note: Just copy and paste the above line. Don't try to be a wise guy. Copy the damn line! I've received quite a few feedbacks about the accuracy of this tip, and always they got the syntax wrong. Copy and paste! Oh, and yes, this tip works for IE 6 SP1 too, and so will older IE versions. Just replace the "6" in the previous line with a "5" and so on.

You can also choose to download all IE versions in one go. For example, if you choose to download the version for Win9X, the version for NT, the version for W2K, and the version for Win ME - all the files will go to one location - a folder named "Windows Update Setup Files" - and you can then burn this folder to a CD and use it to install IE on any OS version you want.



but it downloads 2 files and quits. What am I doing wrong or is this just no longer possible?

Thanks,

You've opened up a command prompt IN THE FOLDER WHERE YOU DOWNLOADED THE ie6setup.exe file?

I just followed the instructions and downloaded a full 11mb of files. You must be doing something wrong.

Evolt's Browser Archive.

Much easier.

For general information, you can download a "full" IE6 installer that will work on WinNT 4.0, Win98/ME, Win2000 and WinXP if you use a Win98 system as the gofer. It has an Advanced button that allows you to select the OS's you want to save IE for, and download for later installation. At least until Windows Update no longer supports Win98, anyway.

Here is my experience using that method.

My theory involves trying to obtain an MSN or AOL signup CD, which oftentimes includes the full distribution versions of the most recent, or sometimes even also prior versions of IE. They're generally given away for free, so might as well check that out, no?
