For Window Terminal Server 4, SP6, MF 1.8 SP3
Run the IE 5.5 (SP2) setup and about halfway through you get the following
message.

The following components were not installed
IE 5.5 Web Browser
IE 5.5 Exception Pack
IE 5.5 Readme
Offline Browsing pakc
128 bit encryption update

IE 5 is still acting as the browser.....

Anyone seen this before? Ideas?

David, although i have not seen this, becouse IE 5.5 SP2 does not have all the installation files on it It, I would load IE 5.5 first, then run the SP2 install. I have all IE 5.5 files on disk and would be glad to zip them up and send them to you. This disk has been very handy for me.

Hope this helps,

Brian

Internet Explorer 5.5 Fails During Installation on Windows Terminal Server Document ID: CTX628451 This solution pertains to: MetaFrame 1.8 for Microsoft NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server
Last modified: Thu Mar 15 14:35:23 2001 If the server has more than 512MB of Memory, Internet Explorer 5.5 fails during installation. Internet Explorer 5.5 fails if it has more than 512MB of memory. This is a common problem because most Terminal Servers are sized with 1-2GB of physical RAM. Use the MaxMem switch in Boot.ini to reduce the available memory without physically removing memory from the server. Modify the Boot.ini using the /maxmem switch equal to 256 or 512. For additional information about the MaxMem switch, see Microsoft TechNet article Q108393 . In this example, this switch is placed at the end of the ARC path specified in the [operating systems] section of the Boot.ini file: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt="Windows NT" /MAXMEM=256 This forces Windows NT to use only 256MB of RAM.

ok, Use another source.
I knew my first cd was good ( I used it several times) but it still didn't want to install. Then I used another cd (never used before ) and it worked.
Go figure.

Why not install IE6. I have it at home and it works fine.
Go to Windows update and download from there. It takes about 1hour on 56k modem, 20mins on cable.
hope this helps.
