SUMMARY

If you install Microsoft Office 2000, by default you also install Internet Explorer 5.0 (version 5.00.2314.1003). However, Microsoft recently made Internet Explorer 5.01 (version 5.00.2919.6307) available for installation.

This article explains the steps to install Internet Explorer 5.01 when you install Office 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

Follow these steps to install Internet Explorer 5.01 with Office 2000:
  1. Create an administrative installation for Office 2000. (See the end of the "More Information" section for how to create administrative installations.)
  2. On a computer, install Internet Explorer 5.01.
  3. On that same computer, start the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW).
  4. In the Open the MSI File dialog box of the Custom Installation Wizard, locate and select Data1.msi from the root of your administrative installation. Click Next.
  5. Continue through the Custom Installation Wizard dialog boxes until you get to the Customize IE 5 Installation Options dialog box. Click Customize. The Microsoft Internet Explorer Customization Wizard (IEAK) is started.

  6. In the File Locations dialog box of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, make sure to specify a folder in the root of your Office Administrative installation. For example, you can use:

    path\OfficeCD1\IE5_Cust

  7. When you get to the Automatic Version Synchronization dialog box of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard (IEAK), you see the following prompt:
    The wizard has detected that a new version of the IEAK is available. Would you like the wizard to shutdown and update now?
    Click Yes to the prompt.
  8. Complete the remaining dialog boxes in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard.
  9. When you click Finish in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, you are returned to the Customize IE 5 Installation Options dialog box of the Custom Installation Wizard.
  10. Make sure the path specified in the File name and path of Internet Explorer 5 Setup box points to the folder you specified in the File Locations dialog box of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard (Step 6). For example, if you specified the following in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard File Locations dialog box:

    path\OfficeCD1\IE5_Cust

    then the File name and path of Internet Explorer 5 Setup box should have:

    .\IE5_Cust\EN\IE5Setup.exe

  11. Complete the remaining dialog boxes in the Custom Installation Wizard.
  12. Write down the sample command line that is provided in the last dialog box of the Custom Installation Wizard. You use this command line to run Office Setup.IMPORTANT: Although the "Always install with elevated privileges" system policy from the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit is in effect when you run Setup for Office, Internet Explorer Setup fails if a user does not have local administrative rights when the operating system is Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. This, in turn, causes a failure in the Office Setup routine.

  13. Run Setup from your Office Administrative installation, using the transform you created in the Custom Installation Wizard.
