I need to install IE6 on a machine that is not connected to the
internet. Does someone know where I can find a distribution version
of IE6? The MS IE6 page only has the IE6 SP1 hot-install version,
which stops after not finding an internet connection... 8-(

Thx,

Neil



Downloading Internet Explorer For A Different Operating System
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=174680

Unfortunately, the instructions regarding the command line to run the
program lead to an "invalid filename" error message, so the program
doesn't run. Any suggestions?


What you really should be saying is that the instructions you tried to follow
(which you aren't giving us) caused you to type something (which you aren't giving us)
that caused that symptom.

For example, if you ended up on this article

<title>Download-only installation of Internet Explorer 6.0, Internet Explorer 5.5,
or Internet Explorer 5.1 in Windows XP or in Windows 2000</title>
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257249/EN-US/

I can well imagine that you might misinterpret either the instructions
or the use of the meta characters in its examples.

FWIW here is how I last described the minimum procedure.

<paste>
Actually what it is sometimes shown and makes more sense as
is that the #E is just a placeholder for a target directory.

In fact, what works, when the target directory is the same as the
directory for ie6setup.exe (which may be otherwise empty) is:

ie6setup /c:"ie6wzd /d:1"

</paste>


Good luck
