Disk-Space Requirements for Internet Explorer 5.01 Installation
---------------------------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer 5.01 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 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, you may see a message recommend-
ing 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 resolves the Year 2000 issues addressed in
these Service Packs.
SETUP
=====
Installing Internet Explorer 5.01 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 double-clicking the
Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel and then clicking
Internet Explorer 5.01. 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 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 to a
UNC path.
Running Internet Explorer 5.01 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. 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're running Internet Explorer 5.01 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, 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
---------------------------------------
If you reinstall a Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack after Internet
Explorer 5.01 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.
2. Click the Install/Uninstall tab.
3. Click Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and Internet Tools,
and then click the Add/Remove button.
4. Click Repair Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
5. After the repair operation is complete, restart your computer.
Installing Over Windows 2000 Releases
-------------------------------------
This is not a supported configuration. Setup will appear to run,
but it will update the name of the browser without updating the
components. You cannot do a full installation of Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.01 components over Windows 2000 releases.
Running Internet Explorer 5.01 on a Dual-Boot Operating System
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you are running Internet Explorer 5.01 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, 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 component
