When you run a Quiet-mode Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Setup on a computer that already has Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 installed,
you receive the following message:
Setup has detected that the newest versions of Internet Explorer
components are already installed. To exit Setup without making any
changes, click Exit. To reinstall the current version of Internet
Explorer, click Reinstall.
When you run a Quiet-mode Internet Explorer 5 Setup on a computer that
