the Ieremove.exe tool.

- If you installed Authenticode 2.0 and did not restart the computer
before attempting to install Internet Explorer 4.0, restart the
computer and then install Internet Explorer 4.0.
- If you removed a previous version of Internet Explorer 4.0 using the
Ieremove.exe tool, follow these steps:
- Rename the Softpub.dll and Wintrust.dll files in the Windows\System
or Winnt\System32 folder to Softpub.xxx and Wintrust.xxx.
For information about how to rename files, click Start, click Help,
click the Index tab, type renaming files, and then double-click the "Renaming files" topic.
- Install Internet Explorer 3.02, and then restart the computer.
- Install Internet Explorer 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The Active Setup Wizard performs trust checking to verify the size of the
cabinet (.cab) files and their signature after the cabinet files are
downloaded. Authenticode 2.0 must be installed for the Active Setup
Wizard to perform trust checking.
