ie6 download

Hope someone can direct me here. I need to download a full installation of
ie6. I'm rebuilding a laptop for my neice. It has 98SE on it and I'm trying
to install a wireless adapter which requires IE 5.5 or higher. I can't get to
the internet without the adapter and the Microsoft downloads just give the
769KB setup file. Is there a place or means within Microsoft to do the full
download.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had seen the link to order the CD but was
trying to do something this evening and hoped there was a site where I could
download it in full, write it out to a CD and install it on her machine

Thanks for the help. I seem to have a slight problem tho. I have a downloads
folder, copied the command line and pasted it into the run statement box.
From there I got the license agreement, indicated to download to
\downloads\ie6 folder and it seems to go nowhere. Any idea what might be
happening? By the way, thanks for the link to that site

No download options Window to chose a folder? 'Windows Update Setup Files'.

That is the way it works. It downloads a core then follows up with any
specifically needed parts. Order the CD from them.

Have you tried an XP install CD? 2nd option is install optional components
on my copy, IE is in that list. Disable the other items and try it. I
haven't tried but its not install XP itself, its optional items so may
work. Unless any has knowledge to the contrary?
