Now that you mention it, I was a bit misleading in my previous message when I said that ie6setup.exe downloads ie6wzd.exe - of course it is just a self-extracting archive and the files it put in my temp dir were just extracted from the archive. Or were you asking whether ie6setup.exe downloads any files at all from the net? Of course ie6setup.exe is just a small app to kick off downloading of the relevant files for your machine (or of the whole thing, if you use the right arguments). That's why it is < 500 KB - the full install that it downloads is about 50 MB (which it puts in "c:\Windows Update Setup Files" - but I think it offers you an option for this). Hope that makes a bit more sense now. Of course I have to add the disclaimer that I have only tried using it to download in this way on a Win2000 box - it might not work the same way under Win9x.
