As I understand it, you need to build your own IE installer via the IE Admin Kit in order to redistribute it. General information is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak/. If you poke around this site a while, you'll eventually reach http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak/downloads/recommended/ieak501/default .asp, which should have what you're looking for. (Other versions, including IE6, can also be downloaded.)
The initial download is just a few MB; it, in turn, downloads all of the files (lots of MB) that it subsequently uses to build an IE installer. You can include or exclude all sorts of IE components--just study the docs. Happy reading. --Rich Armstrong -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Reggie Burnett Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 1:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] why IE 5.01 Yes, I know of that page but there are some special command line switches you have to give to the setup file that gets downloaded. Those switches tell it to download the installer rather than install it. I found the switches by searching Microsoft's site.

It is possible/likely that some of my clients may not have active net connections at the time of installation.

And how many folks out there are building/shipping client apps despite not supporting Win95, requiring IE 5.01, etc?
