- more quickly if necessary. If you want to reclaim the disk space,
- you can remove the Setup directory by double-clicking the
- Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel and then clicking
- Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2. In the Microsoft Internet Explorer Setup

- and uninstall this program on Windows NT. This includes
- having administrative privileges the first time you

-
- You must restart your computer after installing Internet

- Installing Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs
- Over Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2
- ------------------------------------------
- If you reinstall a Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack after Internet
- Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 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, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

- Installing Over Windows 2000 Releases
- -------------------------------------
- Typical and Full installs are not currently available for Windows 2000.
- Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 will install a minimal set of files
- into your system, this includes updated web browser, mail components and
- scripting support.
-
- Uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 before upgrading to Windows 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Windows 2000 contains an earlier version of Internet Explorer components
- When upgrading from Windows 9x or NT to Windows 2000, we recommend that
- you uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 before the upgrade.
-
- Installing Internet Explorer 5.5 over 5.01 Service Pack 2 in Windows 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- After installing Internet Explorer 5.5 on Windows 2000. When you uninstall
- Internet Explorer 5.5 and go back to Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2,
- uninstall of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 will no longer be available.
-
- Running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 on a Dual-Boot Operating System
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are running Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 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 2, 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 2.
-
- If you have already installed Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 and would
- like to install the Windows Desktop Update, carry out the
- following steps:
-
- 1. Uninstall Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2.
- 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 2.
-
- Installing Over Localized Windows 98 Arabic and Hebrew Releases
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Windows 98 Arabic and Hebrew require the corresponding localized
- version of Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2. 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 2 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 2
- 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 2, 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 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 2 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 run and install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 normally.
-
- - Install Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2 from a CD-ROM.
-
