Title: RE: IE6 released

It's to do with Windows File Protection. I can only assume that, as the base install files are in the dllcache area, any customisation that changes what Windows expects to see would get replaced by the 'original' files.

 

File protection is a good idea but seems to still need a few tweaks yet.

I was wondering, Allen, what do you think of the customised IE6 install restriction on Windows2000 and XP?

 

I also had the same problem with W2K sp2.

The customized install does not work if you are running Windows 2000 and probably Windows XP.  Only 9x, ME, and NT give you that option.  Very stupid if you ask me, but hey, no one asked me right?

Strange, I aborted 3 attempts as I was never offered the opportunity to do
a customized install.  I know that's how I did it on the previous few IE
downloads.  However, I ran the app, looked over all the dialog boxes,
clicked the license agreement, and -POOF!- it appeared to have started
doing the install.

For others with similar experiences, does it download several files
_before_ offering the chance for a custom install?  (Like I said, I aborted
the process after it appeared to be doing a regular install.)
