How can I install Internet Explorer 5.5 while disconnected from the internet? I want to put the installation program on a CD to install on remote laptops.

I have found that even if you specify to download ALL components from the web site to a directory on your hard disk, when you come to install IE5.5, it still requests to go to the internet.

The only surefire method that I know is to have IE5.5 ona CDROM supplied by either Microsoft of a cover disk on a magazine where the installation is designed to be run and installed from the CD and not access the internet for anything.

I have a copy of such a CD, so I know they exist, but mine has come down the grapevine.

Use the IEAK kit. It's a free download from Microsoft. (www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak/downloads/archive/default.asp)

Easy to use. It'll download all the IE 5.5 files and store them in a folder. You can either burn them to a CD or put them ona share.

You can also customize the IE browser with IEAK. You can add company logo's, trusted/restricted websites, any setting you want then all the users on your network will have the same settings.
