Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6 Do Not Prompt for an Installation Location on Windows 2000

This article was previously published under Q257233

SYMPTOMS

When you install Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6 in Microsoft Windows 2000, you are not prompted to specify an installation location for Internet Explorer.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6 install only core browser and scripting files in existing folders in Windows 2000. You cannot specify a new location.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
