Stage 3 Overview: Customizing Setup

In this stage of the Internet Explorer Customization wizard, corporate administrators can determine the way that Setup will appear and work:

Customize the CD-ROM Autorun screen if you are creating a CD-ROM package.
Customize additional CD-ROM options if you are creating a CD-ROM package.
Customize Windows Update Setup Wizard for Internet Explorer and Other Internet Tools. These settings affect how Setup appears to the user.
Determine whether you want to install the package "silently," with few or no prompts to the user.
Specify up to 10 unique installation options and determine which components are included with each option.
Specify up to 10 sites from which your package will be downloaded. You can specify up to 10 sites, unless you are a corporate administator performing a silent install.
Specify how users will receive updates to their components.
Specify where you want Internet Explorer to be installed on your users' computers and whether users can change the installation location.
Determine whether users can customize Setup, whether uninstall information is installed, whether Internet Explorer can be installed side-by-side with a previous version, and whether Internet Explorer is the default browser.
Specify that Setup detects whether a component exists and fine-tune which components users can customize.
Determine whether components you've downloaded, but haven't added to all packages, will be made available to users through the Automatic Install feature.
Import a custom profile from or create a new profile with the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK). The CMAK is installed with the IEAK.
Specify whether you want to integrate Web browser functionality into your desktop and folders. This functionality is integrated into Windows 98.
Specify certification authority information, if you have a digital certificate, so you can sign programs as you build your IEAK package.

Notes

For more information about Setup, see Windows Update Setup Wizard for Internet Explorer and Other Internet Tools.
The UNIX functionality in the IEAK supports the more common UNIX method of installing the customized product on only a few servers. Users can then run Internet Explorer from this location rather than installing the product locally. This configuration is recommended for UNIX installations. Internet Explorer 5 Setup, which downloads .cab files, is not available on UNIX operating systems.
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.
