In earlier versions of Internet Explorer, you can select/de-select specific components to include in the 'download only' installation.
In Windows NT, when you select the 'download only' option, you are not given a choice. The .cab files that are downloaded provide for a full installation on your Windows NT platform.
When you try to download from Windows 2000, no 'download only' is available. To perform the equivalent:
1. Click the language on the http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/webtechnology/ie/iepreview.asp page.
2. Select Save to Disk and select a folder on your disk.
When the download finishes:
1. Start / Run / Browse and select the Ie5setup.exe file that you downloaded.
2. Press Open.
3. Click at the end of the command in the Open box and add:
/c:"ie5wzd.exe /d /s:""#E
Example: If you download to C:\Windows Update Setup Files, your command would be
"C:\Windows Update Setup Files\ie5setup.exe" /c:"ie5wzd.exe /d /s:""#E
4. Press Enter.
5. Choose the appropriate items.
