Template 4: Internet Explorer "Download Once" channel

Function: Same as the functionality provided by Template 2 (Automatic Download Channel), except that the Internet Explorer files are downloaded only for the next new version. After successful manual installation by the user, this .cdf file unregisters itself with the system. Subsequent new versions are not downloaded unless another subscription is made.

Appropriate when: The administrator wants to distribute only the next new version of Internet Explorer to users and wants users to manually install at their convenience. This type of channel lets the administrator decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not to provide a new version to the user.

Suggested filename: IE-precache-once.cdf
