Hello.

I want to use 98SE2ME without installing IE 5.5. (IE6 only)

Of course shell doesn't boot.

 

I saw message "shell32.dll decides IE core version" on message board.

but I can't solve that problem yet.....

I don't understand your question. Read this -

...and rephrase your question, please.

Right out of the Installer.

I don't understand why you would have any problems. Which of the above options are you wanting?

I'm sorry, I was mistaken.

I can do it without any problem. (98SE2ME doesn't need to install IE5.5)

 

I close this question.
