[Gary Roach]

I've got an NT machine with the original version of IE on it (version 2!)
and i want to upgrade to IE6. when i run the 480K stub that starts the
upgrade process, i get the error:

Windows update: internet explorer and internet tools

setup was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you
are connected to the internet, or try to run setup again later.


I can't find a full version of the file to download. what do i do? order the
cd? download netscape? thanks for the help

Windows Security Update CD
http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/cd/order.asp
The CD includes Microsoft critical updates released through October 2003
(and SP4 for Windows 2000 / SP1 for Windows XP) as well as information
to help you protect your PC.
Supports Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE).

"The ie6setup.exe in the folder Content\Win9x\common\IE6SP1\ on the "Windows
Security Update CD" can be used to update IE to IE6 SP1 on WinME, Win2k and
WinXP (even if it is placed in a Win9x folder structure).
For WinXP, the SP1 for the OS itself will also upgrade IE to IE6 SP1, while SP4
for Win2k will not upgrade IE to IE6 SP1.
