What to Do After You Run the Wizard

After you click Finish, the wizard builds your custom browser package. In most cases, your next steps will be preparing your files for downloading from the Web, and then preparing other media (such as compact discs) for distribution.

Programs and cabinet files distributed via the Internet, or an intranet that isn't especially configured, for users of 32-bit operating systems must be digitally signed. Digital signatures show where programs come from and verify that programs haven't been altered. For more information, see Signing Your Programs. If you specified that the Internet Explorer Customization wizard will sign your programs and custom files, then the wizard will sign your programs as it builds your package. If you did not specify that the wizard sign your programs and files, then you need to sign them before users download them.

Unlike Internet Explorer 32-bit versions of the browser, 16-bit and UNIX versions of the browser do not perform digital signature verification. Programs or cabinet files for these operating systems do not need to be signed.

The steps you take to distribute your customized browser will vary, depending on your role and the media you plan to use. For more information, click the applicable link below:
