Hello Petr, I tried the command line "ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E", but it doesn't work (I tried with and w/o the quote marks.) I've searched my HD for the ie6wzd.exe file, and I don't have it anywhere. ie6setup.exe is found in two places: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer & C:\Windows\Windows Update Setup Files. Please help.

Hello Petr, Ok, so I understand the command line "ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E", but I still don't understand how a 481k file (ie6setup.exe) is going to install 14.5MB worth of IE 6.0 SP1 w/o having a connection to the internet. Now I've done a search in my windows directory and found a folder "Windows Update Setup Files", which contain zip files like IE_S1, IE_S2, IE_S3, etc. So, would I like have to copy this entire folder to a CD if I wanted to install IE 6.0 SP1 on a clean WIN98SE install w/o having to connect to the internet? Sorry if I seem stupid about this, but I do want to learn how this is done.

Hello Petr, Yes. It's a little unclear what you've described. Basically I would be looking to somehow install IE 6.0 SP1 w/o having to connect to the Windows Update site. I want to be able to install IE 6.0 SP1 off a CD like when I do a clean install of WIN98SE. I am aware of iesetup.exe, which is like 540k or something, but that still requires d/l off the internet. I have a dial-up connection, so it's kind of a pain in the a** to d/l around 14.5MB to install IE 6.0 SP1. Any advice helps! Thanks!

How? Where are these files stored? Please explain.....

Well, the reason I bring this issue up is mainly for IE 6.0. Now I know there are a few D/L out there where you can get this individually, but they weigh around 80MB. With what I install for IE 6.0 it D/L's about 14.5MB off the Windows Update. Also off a clean install and installing Gape's SE SP, there are a lot of Updates you need to D/L that are not included in Gape's SE SP: IE 6 SP1 Cumlative Secuirty Update IE 6 SP1 (KB905915 Security Update for DX 9 (KB904706) Security Update WMP 6.4 (Q320920) Security Update Nov 20th 2001 Security Update Microsoft VM (816093) Outlook Express 6 Cumlative Security Update Outlook Express 6 SP 1(KB837009) Windows Address Book Security Update WMP 9 (KB885492) Here's how I do a fresh install for WIN98SE: 1. Install WIN98SE 2. Install IE 6.0 SP1 2. Install DX 9.0c 4. Install Device Drivers 5. Install MSOffice (version 2000) 6. Install SE SP 2.1a 7. Install Critical Updates 8. Install Add'l Windows and MSOffice Updates

I know that official support for WIN98SE will end from Microsoft after June 2006....So does anyone know if Microsoft will still allow you to download updates from their website? Just curious.
