Wizard
Download Site and Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS)
In this step, you will download the latest Microsoft programs and tools. If you already have the latest version of a component, you will be prompted to keep it. You may need to temporarily disable virus-checking programs to download components; a message will be displayed if this is necessary.
Microsoft Download Site
Choose the site that you will download the latest Internet Explorer and Internet Tools from, and click Next to see the Automatic Version Synchroni.
Download Internet Explorer components
Download the latest version of any Microsoft components shown in the box. The status of each component is indicated as follows:
| This symbol |
Means this |
| Red X |
This component is not currently downloaded. |
| Yellow exclamation point |
An outdated version of this component has been downloaded. |
| Green check mark |
The latest version of this component has already been downloaded. |
You must download the Internet Explorer browser to continue beyond this step.
Notes
- To download or update more than one component, select each component you want, and then click Synchronize. To download all components, click Synchronize All.
- For an illustration of this feature, see Automatic Version Synchronization.
- For information about components and ComponentID strings, see the IEAK Web site.
- If you cleared the Automatic version synchronization (AVS) check box in the first stage of this wizard, the Internet Explorer Customization wizard will not be able to verify whether you have the latest version of the components. The icons will not be green, even if you have the latest version. For those components that you have already downloaded, the icons will be yellow. For components you have not downloaded, the icons will be red. Also, if you have disabled version synchronization, you will not be able to download specific components in this stage of the wizard.
- In this stage of the wizard, the Setup files for Internet Explorer and other components are downloaded to your computer. It's recommended that you keep a copy of these files on your hard disk. This will make it easier to rebuild your package later and to enable the Customization wizard to check to see whether newer versions of these programs are available.
