Disk-Space Requirements for Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1 Installation
--------------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 and Internet Tools
Setup installs the majority of its files to the drive where
the Windows operating system is installed, regardless of the
installation location you chose. To free up space on your
hard disk in order to meet the Internet Explorer 5.01 Service
Pack 1 disk-space installation requirements, you must free up
space on the drive where the Windows operating system is
installed.
Installing Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4
----------------------------------------
After you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 but before
you install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, you may
see a message recommending that you install one or both of
the following Service Packs to resolve known Year 2000 issues:
- Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.0 Service Pack 1
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 resolves the Year 2000
issues addressed in these Service Packs.
=====
SETUP
=====
Installing Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
and Internet Tools
------------------------------------------------
Whether you choose to install over the network or download the
installation files to your hard disk, some or all of the Setup
files are copied to your hard disk. This allows you to reinstall
more quickly if necessary. If you want to reclaim the disk space,
you can remove the Setup directory by carrying out the following
steps:
1. Open Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel.
2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1.
3. In the Microsoft Internet Explorer Setup dialog box, click the
Advanced button, and then click "Remove the folder containing
Internet Explorer setup files."
You cannot install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 to or
run it from a network drive. However, you can download it to a
network drive. To do this, you must map the network drive to a
drive letter on your computer. You cannot download Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 to a UNC path.
Running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
---------------------------------------------
NOTE: You must have administrative privileges to install and
uninstall this program on Windows NT. This includes having
administrative privileges the first time you start your
computer after installing or uninstalling.
You must restart your computer after installing Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1. This is also true for some add-on
components.
For corporate deployment on computers running Windows NT 4.0,
make sure you have the following free registry space:
- If you are upgrading from Internet Explorer 2.0 or
Internet Explorer 3.x: at least 4 MB
- If you are upgrading from Internet Explorer 4.x:
at least 2.5 MB
If you are running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 on
Windows NT 4.0, you must set user permissions to Full Control
for the Temporary Internet Files folder (cache). The user must
have write permission so that files can be stored in the
Temporary Internet Files folder.
If you must reinstall Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) after
you install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, you must
specify when prompted that you do not want it to overwrite any
files that are newer. After SP3 is reinstalled, carry out the
following steps to update the registry:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type the following: regsvr32 rsabase.dll
3. Click OK.
Installing Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs
over Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
------------------------------------------
If you reinstall a Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack after Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 is installed on your computer, some
components will need to be re-registered. To do this, carry out
the following steps:
1. In Control Panel, open Add/Remove Programs.
2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 and Internet Tools, and then
click the Add/Remove button.
3. Click Repair Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
4. After the repair operation is complete, restart your
computer.
Installing over Windows 2000 Releases
-------------------------------------
Typical and Full installs are not currently
available for Windows 2000. Internet Explorer 5.01 Service
Pack 1 will install a minimal set of files, including an
updated Web browser, mail components, and scripting support.
Uninstalling Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1 before Upgrading to Windows 2000
-----------------------------------------------
Windows 2000 contains an earlier version of Internet Explorer
components. When upgrading from Windows 95, Windows 98, or
Windows NT to Windows 2000, we recommend that you uninstall
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 before the upgrade.
Installing Internet Explorer 5.5 over
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 in Windows 2000
-----------------------------------------------------
If you uninstall Internet Explorer 5.5 and return to Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, you will no longer be able to
uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1.
Running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
on a Dual-Boot Operating System
---------------------------------------------
If you are running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 on
a computer that is set up to dual boot between two operating
systems on the same partition (for example, Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0), and you have configured the computer to share
a single Program Files folder, you may have problems with add-on
components. Also, when you uninstall an add-on component from
either copy of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, it will
be removed from both of them without updating the other operating
system's installed components information. These problems are
because the add-on files are all stored in the shared Program
Files folder, but information about installed add-on components
is stored elsewhere.
Installing or Upgrading the Windows Desktop Update
--------------------------------------------------
To install or upgrade the Windows Desktop Update, you must
install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 before you install
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1.
If you have already installed Internet Explorer 5.01 Service
Pack 1 and would like to install the Windows Desktop Update,
carry out the following steps:
1. Uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1.
2. If Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 is not already installed on
your computer, install it.
3. Install the Windows Desktop Update.
4. Reinstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1.
Installing over Localized Windows 98
Arabic and Hebrew Releases
------------------------------------
Windows 98 Arabic and Hebrew versions require the corresponding
localized version of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1. It
is not possible to install the English version of Internet
Explorer over the localized version of Windows 98. This
restriction does not apply to localized versions of Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0. You cannot install localized Arabic/Hebrew
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 on top of localized
Windows 95 (only English is supported).
Installing Outlook Express 5 on Windows Terminal Server
-------------------------------------------------------
Before installing Outlook Express 5 on Windows Terminal
Server, the administrator needs to set a compatibility flag
in the registry for the Outlook Express 5 setup program to
work correctly. To do this, carry out the following steps:
1. Create this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications\setup50
2. Set the following value under the new setup50 key (this value
should be of type REG_DWORD):
Flags = 0x108
Installing Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
with Norton Protected Recycle Bin Enabled
------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you disable the Norton Protected Recycle
Bin while you install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, and
that you empty the Norton Protected Recycle Bin before you run
Setup. Before you empty the Norton Protected Recycle Bin, be sure
you review its contents in case it contains any items you want to
recover safely. You can re-enable this feature after Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 Setup is complete.
This is recommended because Norton Protected Recycle Bin will
intercept the removal of temporary files that Setup is trying
to delete, and you could run out of free space on your hard
disk if your remaining free space is limited. This would cause
Internet Explorer Setup to appear locked. For instructions on
disabling and re-enabling the Norton Protected Recycle Bin, see
the Norton Utilities documentation.
Installing on Windows 98 with Novell IPX/IP Client
--------------------------------------------------
If you are using Novell IPX/IP client with Windows 98, you
may experience problems if you install Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1 from the Internet. If Setup appears to become
unresponsive, restart your computer. Setup will continue and
finish normally. To work around this problem, try one of the
following options:
- From the Internet, select the Download Only option, and then
install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 normally.
- Install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 from a CD-ROM.
Uninstalling Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
and Internet Tools
--------------------------------------------------
You can uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 and
Internet Tools by carrying out the following steps:
1. In Control Panel, open Add/Remove Programs.
2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 and Internet Tools, and then
click Add/Remove.
3. Select "Restore the previous Windows configuration," and
then click OK.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen.
Uninstall for Internet Explorer 4.x Unavailable
-----------------------------------------------
Uninstall for Internet Explorer 4.x is unavailable when Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 is installed. The backup files for
uninstalling Version 4.x are replaced by the backup files for
version 5. You cannot uninstall version 4.X after uninstalling
version 5.
High Encryption Support for
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
-------------------------------------
High Encryption components are available on Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0. To
obtain high encryption support for Windows 2000, please visit
Windows Update or the following Web site:

encryption/default.asp
=================
ADDITIONAL ISSUES
=================
Work Offline Dialog Box Appears
if There Is No Internet Connection
----------------------------------
If you do not have an active connection to the Internet and
the Never Dial A Connection option is selected, when you start
Internet Explorer you may see the following error message:
"Web page not available when offline." You will be prompted to
try again or work offline.
To be prompted to dial a connection:
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Connections tab.
3. Click one of the following options:
- Dial Whenever A Network Connection Is Not Present
or
Always Dial My Default Connection
4. Click OK or Apply.
FTP User Interface and Functionality
------------------------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 has an improved FTP user
interface when direct access to an FTP server is available. If
you discover an issue in the FTP user interface that blocks FTP
functionality, you can disable this feature on the Advanced tab
in the Internet Options dialog box.
The following functionality is not supported:
- Internet connection via CERN proxy or Web proxies.
- Connecting to VAX or VMS FTP servers.
- Using the browser from within a separate application or
service.
- Copying from server to server.
- Drag and drop or copy/paste functionality from an FTP
server is supported only on Windows 2000 and later.
Font Display Issues
-------------------
If you run a non-Far East language version of Windows NT 4.0
and you have installed many large fonts, the system's ability
to use those fonts may be exceeded. If Far East language Web
pages are not displayed correctly, install Windows NT 4.0
Service Pack 5.
Non-English Characters in URLs and Queries
------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 uses a new standard to
transmit non-English addresses (URLs) to the server. URLs are
now encoded in a character-encoding standard named UTF-8. If
the server is running Microsoft Internet Information Server 4
or later, the URLs will work as expected. Many servers cannot
process URLs encoded in UTF-8. To use non-English characters
in URLs with these servers, carry out the following steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Clear the Always Send URLs As UTF-8 check box.
The query part of URLs is transmitted in a form fully compatible
with Internet Explorer 4.
Internet Explorer 4.x Compatibility Mode
----------------------------------------
The Internet Explorer 4.x compatibility option is useful to
Web developers who want to view and test their Web sites on
different versions of Internet Explorer using the same computer.
You may not be able to change all settings for the browser while
in this mode. When using the compatibility option, you should
change Internet Options through Control Panel, not through the
browser's Internet Options on the Tools menu.
Uninstalling Outlook Express 5
------------------------------
If you uninstall Outlook Express 5 and you were previously
running Internet Mail and News, you would be able to see only
the messages you received using Internet Mail and News. To
view Outlook Express 5 messages, reinstall Outlook Express 5.
If you uninstall Outlook Express 5 and you were previously
running Outlook Express 4, you can view your Outlook Express 5
messages by using the Import feature. To import your Outlook
Express messages to Outlook Express 4, carry out the following
steps:
1. On the File menu, click Import, and then click Messages.
2. On the list of programs, click Microsoft Outlook Express 5.
3. Follow the instructions on your screen.
Enhanced Encryption Strength
----------------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 now ships with standard
encryption strength of 128 bits and supports the U.S. government
standard for data encryption (DES). 128-bit Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1 is eligible for distribution to all users worldwide
except in U.S. embargoed destinations. For more information,
visit the following Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/
Windows Radio Toolbar
---------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 includes a Windows Radio
toolbar that allows streaming radio playback. By default, the
toolbar is not displayed when the browser is started. To display
the Windows Radio toolbar whenever the browser is started, carry
out the following steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Multimedia area, click the Always Show Internet Explorer
Radio Bar check box.
Changing the Language of Menus and Dialog Boxes
-----------------------------------------------
Changing the language used in menus and dialog boxes may not work
with all display adapters. If you see blank menus or dialog boxes
after changing the language, try either of the following options:
- Change the resolution of your display adapter.
- Upgrade the driver for your display adapter to a newer version.
For information about updated drivers, contact the manufacturer
of your display adapter.
AutoComplete Options
--------------------
If you do not want AutoComplete to suggest matches for certain
sensitive previously entered items, you have several options:
- You can delete a specific AutoComplete entry by highlighting
it in the AutoComplete drop-down list and then pressing DELETE.
- If you want to delete a user name/password combination on a
login page, delete the user name; the password will be deleted
with it.
- If you want to clear all form or password information, carry
out the following steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click
the Content tab.
2. Click AutoComplete, and then click Clear Forms or
Clear Passwords.
Microsoft Chat 2.5
------------------
You can no longer install Microsoft Chat 2.5 from the Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 installation. If you previously
installed Microsoft Chat 2.5 and then you upgrade to Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, you will be able to continue to
use your existing Microsoft Chat 2.5 client for a limited time
on the Microsoft Chat servers. If you do not have a Chat client
already installed and you would like to install one, or if you
already have a version of Microsoft Chat installed, consider
installing the new MSN Chat from http://webchat.msn.com.
=========================
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
=========================
Visual Studio 6.0
-----------------
There are some known issues when you have Microsoft Visual
Studio(R) 6.0 and Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
installed on the same computer. These issues are resolved with
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 SP3. If you are running Visual
Studio 6.0, it is recommended that you upgrade to SP3 at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/vs6sp3/.
DirecPC 2.0
-----------
After you install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 on a
computer running DirecPC 2.0, you may receive an error message
when you start the DirecPC software. To correct this problem,
contact Hughes Network Systems to obtain an updated version of
the DirecPC software.
BackOffice Small Business Server
--------------------------------
If you use BackOffice Small Business Server, you must upgrade
to Small Business Server 4.5 before installing Internet
Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1. Without the upgrade, the SBS
management console will flicker with each screen transition.
Increasing the number of colors helps the problem but does not
resolve it.
Logitech Internet Keyboard
--------------------------
Certain versions of the Key Commander software that ship
with the Logitech Internet Keyboard are not compatible with
Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1. For more information,
contact Logitech Customer Support or see the Logitech Web site
at http://www.logitech.com.
Diamond Video Drivers
---------------------
If you are running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1, then
you install some Diamond video drivers (downloaded from the
Diamond Web site or from CDs that come with Diamond video cards),
you may not be able to restart your computer.
This is because the Diamond video driver installation replaces
the Windows system file Comctl32.dll. Diamond is aware of this
problem and is fixing their video driver installers. There are
two options for addressing this issue:
Before you install these drivers:
1. Make a backup copy of the file Comctl32.dll found in the
Windows\System or \Winnt\System32 folder (the system folder).
2. Install the Diamond video drivers.
3. Restart your computer by using a bootable floppy disk.
4. After the restart is complete, copy the backup version of
Comctl32.dll to the system folder, overwriting the existing
version of the file.
5. Remove the disk from the floppy disk drive, and then restart
your computer again.
If you have already installed these drivers:
1. Restart your computer by using a bootable floppy disk. If you
have Windows NT installed on an NTFS partition, you will need
to use a boot disk that supports read and write access to the
partition.
2. At the MS-DOS prompt, change directories to the folder that
contains the Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1 files. If
these files were downloaded, the default location is
C:\Windows Update Setup Files; or, on the CD-ROM, choose the
IE5 folder under the correct operating system.
3. Extract the Comctl32.dll file by using the following command
line:
For Window 95 or Windows 98:
extract /e /l c:\temp setupw95.cab comctl32.dll
For Windows NT:
extract /e /l c:\temp setupnt.cab comctl32.dll
4. Copy the extracted Comctl32.dll file from the C:\Temp folder
into the Windows\System or \Winnt\System32 folder (the system
folder), overwriting the existing version of the file.
5. Remove the disk from the floppy disk drive, and then restart
your computer again.
Internet Explorer ActiveX Tree and Pop-up Menu Controls
-------------------------------------------------------
During the installation of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1,
the Setup program removes earlier versions of the ActiveX tree
control and pop-up menu controls due to compatibility issues
with this version of the browser. Programs that rely on these
controls may require reinstallation of the controls to restore
functionality.
Task Scheduler on Windows NT 4.0
--------------------------------
Windows NT 4.0 included an old version of the Schedule service,
also known as At service (Atsvc.exe). Internet Explorer 5.01
Service Pack 1 upgrades it to the new version of the Schedule
service, Task Scheduler (MSTask.exe) and converts At jobs to
Scheduled Tasks.
With the old At service, all At jobs had to run in the same
account as the service itself. The default account for the
service was the Local System account, but it could be changed
to another user account if desired. Some Windows NT 4.0 users
changed the At service's account because they needed their
jobs to run in a user account.
With the Task Scheduler, each scheduled task can be configured
to run in a different account. The Task Scheduler service itself
has to run in the Local System account.
For backward compatibility, the Task Scheduler allows the user
to set one account to use when running scheduled tasks that were
created from At jobs. When Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
is installed, this account is set to the Local System account.
If you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you changed the account
that the At service ran in to something other than the Local
System account, then after installing Internet Explorer 5.0 you
would need to manually re-enter the user name and password for
that account. To do this, in the Tasks folder, click the Advanced
menu, and then click AT Service Account.
This must be done manually because Internet Explorer 5 Setup
cannot decrypt the password that was used by the At service.
For more information about At service compatibility, see online
Help in Task Scheduler.
