SYMPTOMS
When you run Ie4setup.exe from an IEAK 4.01a-created download package, the program fails to install. You will either receive an error message that the download site list could not be found or the following:
CAUSEThis error is usually caused by an invalid path and/or unsigned .cab files. RESOLUTION
There is a very specific way to set up the directory structure that the Ie4setup.exe looks for. TargetDir\PlatForm\IE4Site\LangWhen you run through the IEAK Wizard, it will ask you for a download URL. This is the URL where the Internet Explorer 4.0 directory structure is placed. For example: Download URL = http://www.mycompany.com/ie4 (this is just an example it could be any valid URL)On the Web server, the directory structure would look similar to the following: C:\InetPub\wwwroot\ie4\win95_nt\ie4site\enNote: When you are going through the IEAK Wizard, only specify the path to the Target directory; the IEAK Wizard will automatically append Win95_nt\ie4site\en to whatever you enter in the Download URL field. You can check this by opening your Install.ins file and looking under "ActiveSetupSites." It should appear as follows:
If your download URL has duplicate IE4Site or Win95_NT directories, then one of these two directories was included in the path that you entered in the wizard. This causes download failures.Another method to verify that path is to open the Active Setup Log.txt on the client computer. This is located in the Windows or WinNT directory (depending on your operating system). Look for the Download Site entry and note the exact path that Ie4setup.exe is searching for. You can also open Ie4sites.dat, which is located in the Win95_nt\ie4sites folder. One final note: the Ie4setup.exe that is used to install this Web-based package is located in TargetDir\Platform\Download\Platform\Lang. This file can be placed ANYWHERE on the Web server or distributed through a floppy disk, compact disc, and so on. Another common reason for "The Internet May be Busy" error is that the package's .cab files may not be signed. You can test this on a computer running Internet Explorer 4.0. Set the security to LOW for the Internet and Intranet Zones and attempt to run the Ie4setup.exe. If it is a .cab signing issue, you will receive a warning from Internet Explorer asking if you want to run and install one of the .cab files.
