Installing Internet Explorer

Windows 95 installation notes

  • Choose to download the file and then install it later.
  • Do NOT choose to install the Windows Desktop Update unless you really, really, really, really, really, really want it.
  • Create a temporary folder for the installation files (e.g. C:\temp\ie-inst)
  • Do not believe this little guy:

  • Internet Connection Wizard should not be necessary.
NOTE:
If you install Internet Explorer 4.0 and then restore a Windows 95 registry that was created before you installed Internet Explorer 4.0, or use a Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) that was created before you installed Internet Explorer 4.0, you may be unable to start Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0. To resolve this problem, use the Ieremove.exe tool to remove Internet Explorer 4.0.

For information about how to do so, open the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://www.microsoft.com/kb/default.asp, and then see the following articles: Windows 95: Article Q166313, Removing Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95 Using Ieremove.exe
