My kid is running Win98SE and somehow has screwed up his machine (he
said it was Ad-Aware deleting files but I don't believe him) so that
the IE version that comes up is IE5.0. In the \Program Files \
Internet Explorer folder there's no trace of IE6 and in fact there's
lots of files that look like IE4 (maybe he tried to reinstall Win98
and that's what's on the distribution CD). There's nothing in the
Add/Remove Programs that has anything to do with IE of any version.
Although I can launch IE5.0 on his machine I can't access any web
pages ("not found" screen even for MS).
So before I go any further I'd like to reinstall IE6 in his machine
but I run Win2KPro and MS downloads the setup program for that OS. How
can I simply download the equivalent of the CD which presumably has
IE6 for all OS's on it? Ya' know like with everyone else's software?
You download one big exe or zip and then install it where and on
whatever OS you like, even off line? Or failing that just the complete
IE6 for Win98SE?
And, if such a file can be downloaded, prior to installation can I
simply delete all the sub-folders and files in \Program Files\Internet
Explorer and get rid of those nasty IE4 references?
TIA
