I remember with Internet Explorer 5, you could enter a command to save the full setup file for a Service Pack to your hard drive.

I would like to save Internet Explorer 6 SP1 to my hard drive so I can burn it to disk and not have to run the setup file and download the files every time i need it.

Anyone know how to save the files to my disk?

I need to do the same thing cause it wont install over the old beta i have

Get the exe from here..

h**p://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/ie6setup.exe

Then run it with the switch: /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""

Should prompt you for the destination and install type (Win2k, ME, etc) you want....Check 'em all, I did :P

P.S. Slow as hell right now...only getting ~15K/s on a 2M line...

ok

where do i put that

and

is there anything i need 2 add or take away

Should give you the standard MS License Agreement dialog box, which you must agree to, then it will prompt you for a location to download the files to. I just made a folder on my downloads drive and chose it. Then the type of system, you can check them all if you want. I did..That way you can install it on any Windows system you want....When it's done run the .exe in that folder....

/c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""


yes but where do i put it and how do i use it

Thanks

After you download the .exe click start>run>and enter the path to the file with the switch /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""

Example:

If you download it to your C:\ drive it would be;

C:\ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"""

If you allready got the exe, then just move it to your C drive and copy and paste the above command into the run dialog .....

This link may help you. :)

Thanks dude now i am getting the full install


you rule :)

just glad to help...

Enjoy :D

Thanks Pcdad12078 ;)

I have to try this now :lol:

thanks a lot for the info, pcdad, this helps very much. :D

If you haven't installed it yet you can also start the setup and choose the option "minimal or custom".
Click next, then on the next screen choose "advanced" and select "download only". Then choose the location to download the file to and select the version by OS. Choose all of them if you want the full package.

thanks to all for the info downloading it now...

well windows 2000 and XP they dont aloow you to choose any options anymore

it just install or DIE :)

Will this work with Windows XP Service packs?

With Windows Service Packs, you can just go to the MS/Windows site and download the full network install file. It's odd that they give you the choice with something like that, but not with things like IE.

Here's the link to the file:
