Source for FULL ie6sp1 download?

soneill · 12-08-2004, 20:46

Does anyone know where I can download the FULL copy of ie6 with sp1?

If I try using windows update I get the version where it only downloads the bits it thinks it needs. Unfortunately I am trying to update a Win98SE PC and the update crashes pretty much immediately it tries to load. I am hoping that with the full version it will simply overwrite whatever is corrupt and causing the problem.... well that is the theory at this point anyway.

Any other suggestions are very welcome

I have checked that the PC doesn't have a virus etc. so it isn't that causing the problem.

What you need to do is visit http://www.broomeman.com/support/wsiedown.html it has full details of how to do exactly what you want.

download the qualifier file from the m$ site as normal and then type the following in a command prompt:

ie6setup.exe /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"

that should allow you to run the full install

I will try this tomorrow and if it still misbehaves then we are on to the full download that Strzelecki has given me the information for

Thanks and I will let you know how I get on.

I am happy to say that, with a bit of kicking, I have finally got the PC upgraded and patched. Now all I have to worry about is why it keeps crashing while shutting down but that isn't exactly a major problem

Thanks for the help.
