- =====
-
- Installing Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools
- -------------------------------------------------
- Whether you choose to install over the network or download
- the installation files to your hard disk, all 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. In the Microsoft Internet Explorer Setup
- dialog box, click the Advanced button, and then click the option
- named Remove The Folder Containing Internet Explorer Setup Files.

- You cannot install Internet Explorer 5 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 to a
- UNC path.
-
- Running Internet Explorer 5 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. This is also true for some add-on components.
-
- For corporate deployment on Windows NT 4.0 machines, please make
- sure that you have at least 4 MB of free registry space if
- upgrading from Internet Explorer 2.0 or Internet Explorer 3.x,
- and at least 2.5 MB of free registry space when upgrading from
- Internet Explorer 4.x.
-
- If you're running Internet Explorer 5 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 in order for files to 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, 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 SP3 or SP4 Over Internet Explorer 5
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- If you reinstall Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or 4 after Internet
- Explorer 5 is installed on your computer, some components will
- need to be re-registered. To do this, do the following:
-
- 1. In Control Panel,double-click Add/Remove Programs
- 2. Click the Install/Uninstall tab.
- 3. Click Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 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 Beta 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 components over Windows 2000
- beta releases. Windows 2000 beta customers will receive updated
- Internet Explorer components in the next beta release of
- Windows 2000.
-
- Running Internet Explorer 5 on a Dual-Boot Operating System
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- If you are running Internet Explorer 5 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, 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 components is stored elsewhere.
-
- Installing or Upgrading the Windows Desktop Update
- --------------------------------------------------
- To install or upgrade the Windows Desktop Update, you must
- install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 before you install
- Internet Explorer 5.
-
- If you have already installed Internet Explorer 5 and would
- like to install the Windows Desktop Update, carry out the
- following steps:
-
- 1. Uninstall Internet Explorer 5.
- 2. If Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 is not already installed on
- your computer, install it.
- 3. Install the Windows Desktop Update.
- 4. Reinstall Internet Explorer 5.

- Installing Over Localized Windows 98 Arabic and Hebrew Releases
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Windows 98 Arabic and Hebrew require the corresponding localized
- version of Internet Explorer 5. It is not possible to install
- the English version of Internet Explorer over the localized
- version of Windows 98. This restriction does not apply to
- localized versions of Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
-
- Installing Outlook Express 5 on Windows Terminal Server
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- Before installing Outlook Express 5 on Windows Terminal
- Server, the administrator needs to set a compatibility flag
- in the registry for the Outlook Express 5 setup program to
- work correctly. To do this, carry out the following steps:
-
- 1. Create this registry key:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
- Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications\setup50
-
- 2. Set the following value under the new setup50 key (this value
- should be of type REG_DWORD):
- Flags = 0x108
-
- Installing Internet Explorer 5 with Norton Protected
- Recycle Bin Enabled
- ----------------------------------------------------
- It is recommended that you disable the Norton Protected Recycle
- Bin while you install Internet Explorer 5, and that you empty
- the Norton Protected Recycle Bin before you run Setup. Before
- you empty the Norton Protected Recycle Bin, be sure that you
- review its contents in case it contains any items you want to
- recover safely. You can re-enable this feature after Internet
- Explorer 5 Setup is complete.
-
- This is recommended because Norton Protected Recycle Bin will
- intercept the removal of temporary files that Setup is trying to
- delete, and you could run out of free space on your hard disk if
- your remaining free space is limited. This would cause Internet
- Explorer Setup to appear locked. For instructions on disabling
- and re-enabling the Norton Protected Recycle Bin, see the Norton
- Utilities documentation.
-
- Installing on Windows 98 with Novell IPX/IP client
- --------------------------------------------------
- If you are using Novell IPX/IP client with Windows 98,

- this problem, try one of the following options:
-
- - From the Internet, select the Download Only option,
- and then run and install Internet Explorer 5 normally.
-
- - Install Internet Explorer 5 from a CD-ROM.
-
- Uninstalling Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools

- try again. A future release of the Windows NT Service Pack will
- contain a fix for this issue.
-
- Non-English Characters in URLs and Queries
- ------------------------------------------
- Internet Explorer 5 uses a new standard to transmit non-English
- addresses (URLs) to the server. URLs are now encoded in a character
- encoding standard named UTF-8. If the server is running Microsoft
- Internet Information Server 4 or later, the URLs will work as

- Web developers who want to view and test their Web sites on
- different versions of Internet Explorer using the same computer.
- You may not be able to change all settings for the browser while

-
- Visual Studio 6.0
- -----------------
- There are some known issues when you have Microsoft Visual
- Studio(R) 6.0 and Internet Explorer 5 installed on the same
- computer. These issues are resolved with Microsoft Visual

- BackOffice Small Business Server
- --------------------------------
- Users of BackOffice Small Business Server should upgrade
- to Small Business Server 4.5 before installing Internet
- Explorer 5. Without the upgrade, the SBS management console
- will flicker with each screen transition. Increasing the
- number of colors helps the problem but does not resolve it.
-
- Logitech Internet Keyboard
- --------------------------
- Certain versions of the "Key Commander" software that ship
- with the Logitech Internet Keyboard are not compatible with
- Internet Explorer 5. Please check with Logitech Customer
- Support for an updated version, or search their Web site for

-
- Whether you choose to install over the network or to download
- the installation files to your hard disk, the Setup files are
- copied to your hard disk. This is so that you can reinstall
- more quickly if you need to.
-
- You cannot install this version of Internet Explorer 5 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.
-
-
- UNINSTALLING INTERNET EXPLORER 5 AND OTHER INTERNET TOOLS
- =========================================================
-
- If you want to reinstall an earlier version of Internet
- Explorer, you must first uninstall version 5. If you install
- an earlier version without uninstalling version 5, the earlier
- version of Internet Explorer may not run properly.
-
- Automatic uninstall is supported in this version, although some
- files will be left in the Windows\System directory and may be
- used by other applications, including Internet Explorer version
- 3.x. These files include the following:
-
- Urlmon16.dll
- Win16x.dll
- Rb32.dll
- Comctlie.dll
- Secur16.dll
- Security.dll
- Msnssp16.dll
- Msapsp16.dll
- Basic.dll
- Schnl16.dll
- Secssp16.dll
- Rsaci.rat
- Jscrpt16.dll
- Vscrpt16.dll
- Comctl16.dll
- Signin16.hlp
-
- If, after installing Internet Explorer 5, you want to install
- Internet Explorer version 4.x, you must first uninstall Internet
- Explorer 5 using the included Uninstall program, and then
- manually delete the Win16x.dll file from the Windows\System
- folder. If you do not do this, you may see a general protection
- fault when you install Internet Explorer 4.x. Because Win16x.dll
- is a system file, you should not delete it unless it is going
- to be replaced. (Installing Internet Explorer 4.x replaces this

- KNOWN ISSUES
- ============
-
- Running Internet Explorer 5 on Windows 3.1
- ------------------------------------------
- If you are using Windows version 3.1 (not version 3.11 or
- Windows for Workgroups), you must also be running the MS-DOS
- Share.exe program. To do this, carry out the following steps:
-
- 1. Open your Autoexec.bat file (usually found in the C:\ folder).
- 2. Add the following line to the end of the file, but before any
- lines that read "win" or "win.com":
-
- share.exe
-
-
- Internet Connection Wizard Doesn't Start
- ----------------------------------------
- If Internet Explorer 5 is installed with the stack and Dialer
- but is set up using a LAN connection, switching from a LAN
- connection to the Dialer and then starting Internet Explorer
- does not start the Internet Connection wizard.
-
-
- Issues for ISDN Users
- ---------------------
- The Internet Connection wizard in this version of Internet
- Explorer does not detect ISDN. If you use an ISDN modem, you
- must manually select the make and model when setting up
- Internet Explorer.
-
- You also need to create connection icons. When you do this,
- you must include the following information: username, password,
- DNS (Domain Name System) server, and whether your ISP provides
- a static or dynamic IP address.
-
- You must also select the correct connect speed for each
- connection. To do this, in the Properties dialog box for the
- connection, click the Modem tab. The recommended speed for
- dual-channel capability is 115,200 bps.
-
- This version of Internet Explorer does not support automatic
- account creation (via the Internet Connection wizard) for
- ISDN users.
-
-
- Downloading Files via FTP
- -------------------------
- If you download a file by using FTP over a modem, the file will
- be downloaded before you see the dialog box asking you where to
- save the file. If the file is a large one, it may appear that
- nothing is happening while the file is downloading.
-
-
- SSL Connection Problems: Changing Ports in Outlook Express
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- When viewing newsgroups in Outlook Express, if you need to
- change the port number in order to make an SSL connection (for
- example, if you did not originally specify that the server you
- want requires an SSL connection), you must either click another
- folder after changing the port number or restart Outlook Express.
- Only then will you be able to download the newsgroups on the SSL
- server.
-
-
- Importing an Address Book from Internet Mail to Outlook Express
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Outlook Express may not automatically import your existing
- Address Book from Microsoft Internet Mail. To import the Address
- Book manually, carry out the following steps:
-
- 1. Open the Address Book.
- 2. Click the File menu.
- 3. Click Import Address Book.
- 4. Choose to import the Microsoft Internet Mail for Windows 3.1
- Address Book.
-
- The file should be located in the directory
- Iexplore\Mail\User1 (or User2, 3, etc., if
- you have multiple user accounts set up).
-
-
- Tasks Not Appearing in the Task List
- ------------------------------------
- If you click the Send And Receive toolbar button or Send And
- Receive on the Tools menu when you are connected to an IMAP
- (rev1) account, and no tasks appear in the task list, carry
- out the following steps:
-
- 1. Open the Properties dialog box for the account.
- 2. Select Check For New Messages In Subscribed Folders.
-
-
- Issues with SSL and PCT
- -----------------------
- If you use the Advanced dialog box (on the Tools menu, click
- Internet Options, and then click Advanced) to enable or disable
- SSL versions 2.0 or 3.0 or PCT, you must restart Internet
- Explorer for your changes to take effect.
-
-
- Installing on Computers with Large Amounts of Memory
- ----------------------------------------------------
- When you install on a computer that has 40 MB or more of
- memory, you may receive an error message during setup
- indicating that your computer does not have enough memory
- to install Internet Explorer. If this happens, locate the
- Setup.exe file (in the IE5setup folder) and run it with the
- command line switch "/f:16". You can do this by using the
- Run command from either File Manager or Program Manager.
-
- Internet Explorer 3.x Dialer May Not Work After Uninstall
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you are running Internet Explorer 3.x with Phone Dialer,
- and then you install Internet Explorer 5 in a different
- directory , the version 3.x Phone Dialer will not work
- properly if you uninstall Internet Explorer 5. To work
- around this problem, you must specify the version 3.x Phone
- Dialer settings again.
-
- You Cannot Run Two Versions of Microsoft E-Mail
- -----------------------------------------------
- If you are running Internet Explorer 3.x with Internet Mail
- and News installed, and then you install Internet Explorer 5
- and Other Internet Tools, you will no longer be able to use
- Internet Explorer 3.x Internet Mail and News. This is true
- even if you do not install Outlook Express with Internet
- Explorer 5 and Other Internet Tools. However, if you choose
- to install Outlook Express, you can import your e-mail messages
- and Address Book information from Internet Mail and News.
-
- Using Unattended Synchronization
- --------------------------------
- If you are using Internet Explorer 5 with a third-party dialer,
- be sure to specify a timeout limit for the dialer so that it
- doesn't stay connected indefinitely.
-
- Running embedded components on Windows NT 3.51
- -----------------------------------------------
- We experienced some problems running plug-ins when the Operating
- System is Windows NT 3.51. This is due to the fact that the
- plug-in manufacturer thought that since the user is installing a
- 16-bit plug-in they must be installing it on a 16-bit Operating
- System. Some plugins will prevent an install on Windows NT 3.51
- however most do not.
