MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Windows 95/Microsoft Windows 98/Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

In versions of Internet Explorer earlier than version 5.5, you can select or cancel the selection of individual components to include in the "Download Only" process for a custom installation. With Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, when you select the Download Only option, you cannot choose which components are downloaded and which are not. All the cabinet (.cab) files for a full installation for the operating system you choose are downloaded.

This change was made to accommodate the multiple operating systems on which you can install Internet Explorer 5.5 or later. Each operating system has specific components that can and cannot be installed.

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.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
