Template 5: Internet Explorer "Install Once" channel

Function: Same as the functionality provided by Template 3 (Automatic Installation Channel) except that Internet Explorer is installed only for the next new version. After successful automatic installation, this .cdf file unregisters itself with the system. Subsequent new versions are not downloaded or installed unless another subscription is made.

Appropriate when: The administrator wants to distribute only the next new version of Internet Explorer to the user. This type of channel lets the administrator decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not to provide a new version to the user.

Suggested filename: IE-install-once.cdf
