SETUP
=====
- Before you install Internet Explorer 4.0, you should make sure that no
scheduled tasks are running, because they might interfere with the Setup
process.
- CAUTION: Do not install any previous version of Internet Explorer over
Internet Explorer 4.0. If you need to install an earlier version of Internet
Explorer, you must uninstall Internet Explorer 4.0 first.
- If you have been using Platform Preview 2 release of Internet Explorer
4.0, you should uninstall that version before installing the final version.
During the uninstall process, you will be prompted to save your Outlook
Express preferences; they will be used to set up Outlook Express when you
install Internet Explorer 4.0.
- It is recommended that you download Internet Explorer 4.0 to a
directory that does not contain any other files and that will not
be used for any other purpose. If for some reason you want to
uninstall the Setup files, the download directory will be removed.
For information about removing the Setup files, see "Installing Internet
Explorer 4.0."
Installing Internet Explorer 4.0
--------------------------------
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 you can reinstall more quickly if you need
to. 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 4.0 Setup Files.
You cannot install Internet Explorer 4.0 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 4.0 to a
UNC path.
If Internet Explorer 4.0 appears to stop responding at the end
of Setup, you need to restart your computer manually.
Running Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows NT
-------------------------------------------
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
4.0. This is also true for some add-on components.
If you're running Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows NT, 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 4.0, 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.dl
3. Click OK.
Running Internet Explorer 4.0 on a Dual-Boot Operating System
-------------------------------------------------------------
If your computer is set up to dual boot between two operating
systems, you must install multiple instances of Internet Explorer
4.0 in a separate directory for each operating system. For example,
if you are running Windows 95 and Windows NT, you might want to
install Internet Explorer 4.0 in C:\IE95 for Windows 95 and in C:\IENT
for Windows NT. Do not try to use the same installation of Internet
Explorer with two operating systems. If you later uninstall Internet
Explorer 4.0, one of your operating systems may be left unbootable if
you don't follow these steps.
Note also that if you dual boot between two operating systems
that are configured to share a Program Files folder, and you
uninstall an add-on component from one of your Internet Explorer
4.0 installations, it will be removed from both of them. This is
because the add-on files are stored in the Program Files folder.
Uninstalling Internet Explorer 4.0
----------------------------------
You can uninstall Internet Explorer 4.0 by carrying out the
following steps:
1. In Control Panel, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
2. Click Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, and then click Add/Remove.
3. Follow the instructions on your screen.
Cannot Use Registry or ERD Files Created Before
Installing Internet Explorer 4.0
-----------------------------------------------
If you install Internet Explorer 4.0 and then restore a Windows 95
registry that was created before you installed Internet Explorer 4.0,
or use a Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) that was created
before you installed Internet Explorer 4.0, you may be unable to
start Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
To resolve this problem, use the Ieremove.exe tool to remove Internet
Explorer 4.0. For information about how to do so, open the Microsoft
Knowledge Base at http://www.microsoft.com/kb/default.asp, and then
see the following articles:
For Windows 95, see Article Q166313,
"Removing Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 Using Ieremove.exe"
For Windows NT, see Articl
