Internet Explorer 5/6 for Win98?

[P. Burrows]

Anybody knows where to get that?

Microsoft seems to only offer an xp download.

Except that is a downloader, which only downloads XP.

No download links there. You have to install some activex crap (which I
wont)

Not true from the page:

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows 98; Windows ME; Windows
NT; Windows XP Service Pack 1

486/66 MHz processor (Pentium processor recommended)

Not sure what your problem is with ActiveX but it's required for
WindowsUpdate which I would strongly recommend you use.

Otherwise the only other options are:

or:

I don't care what it says on the page, when I download it it says
"Windows 2000 / Windows XP Install"

There is enough bloatware already. I'll decide what I want to download
from links, not them based on what they think i'd like.

Heck no.

Which doesn't work.


Oh well, perhaps someone will post it somewhere.

Ah, a bit of fighting with it, and it downloade the win98 files - it did
write some unnecessary crap to registry but it lets see if this isn't
enough.

Thanks!

I don't care what it says on the page, when I download it it says
"Windows 2000 / Windows XP Install"

But does it run on your Win98 system? I suspect it does.

WindowsUpdate will only make recommendations. You are never required to
install anything aside from the ActiveX component required to use it.

Heck no.

The URL wrapped?

You're welcome..hope it helped.

That's a different matter, but I got the files because of you, so thanks
again

It doesn't continue since MSIE was installed on the XP system (the win98
is not connected to the net)
