Stage 2: Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS)
In these steps, you will select the site from which you want to download the latest versions of Internet Explorer and other optional Microsoft components, and then you will be able to download the components.
Select a Microsoft Download Site
Choose either an FTP or HTTP site for downloading the Internet Explorer browser and components.
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 |
| Green check mark |
The latest version of this component has already been downloaded. |
| Yellow exclamation point |
An outdated version of this component has been downloaded. |
| Red X |
This component is not currently 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.
- If you cleared the Automatic version synchronization (AVS) check box in Stage 1, the IEAK 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 IEAK wizard to check if newer versions of these programs are available.
