Extracting IE 5 from W2K CD

[John]

How do I extract Internet Explorer 5 from a Windows 2000 CD so that I
can stick in on an NT4.0 SP6 Workstation that still has IE 4.0? I don't
want IE 6 on the workstation and MS no longer has IE 5.5 available for
NT. Would doing this wreck the SP6?

You can't do that. You'll have to find a source of IE5.5 for NT elsewhere.

Shoulda saved those old AOL CDs, that's the best place I know of to
fine IE 5. Got Quicken 2000? I believe it installs IE 5. Check other
CDs you may have, there's several that have it.

Maybe on My Office XP cd?

Seem to remember that also IE5 is on money 2001 CD (and IE5.5 on money
2002).

Why don't you want IE 6?

Probably cuz' it's a buggy, bloated piece
of crap...

I had numerous problems with it here, that all
went away when I went back to 5.5 SP2.

That hasn't been my experience. I like IE/OE 6.

I don't know. Put the CD in the drive, hold down the shift key to
prevent the CD from auto starting, then use Windows Explorer to examine
the disk. If you find a folder marked MISE or IE or similar that's
probably it but I'd expect Office XP to have IE6.x if it does have a
browser?

My Office 97 has IE 3.01, it's located in the Value Pack folder listed
as IEXPLORE.

I suspect Office 2000 might have IE 5.x but my Office 2000 CD isn't
available now, sorry.

Ditto, works fine for me and I don't think the security patches are
available for earlier versions of IE are they?

Microsoft Offive XP installs IE 5.5 I believe
