Setup Changed to Prevent Installing Over SP1
Setup is modified to prevent installation of an older version of Internet
Explorer 4.0 or 4.01 over Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 but still allow
custom branding. Therefore:
- On the first installation, only the branding, custom components,
folder, and desktop items are processed. The previous Internet Explorer
browser and other add-on component installations are skipped.
- On the second or subsequent attempts to install a previous version of
Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01 over Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1, Setup
displays the following message:
Setup has detected that the newest versions of Internet Explorer
components are already installed. Click OK to exit Setup without
making any changes.

When you install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 on a computer that does not
have Internet Explorer uninstall files, you no longer see a message
indicating that the uninstall feature has been disabled. The unavail-
ability of the uninstall option in the Add/Remove Programs tool
in Control Panel can still be used to determine if you can uninstall

Additionally, the following issues in Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01 are
addressed in Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1:
- If a Web site uses a cookie with a 2-digit year of "00,"
Internet Explorer recognizes the cookie as expired. As a result,
Internet Explorer behaves as if cookies have been disabled when
visiting the web site.
NOTE: Cookies with 4-digit expiration dates, or expiration dates
before and after the year 2000, work correctly.
For additional information, see the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/year2000/
- If a Web server communicates a 2-digit year of "00" in its HTTP/1.0
header, Internet Explorer recognizes pages on that site as expired.
Although it caches them, they may expire earlier than expected.
Browsing the site works normally while you are connected, but the site
may not be available for offline browsing. HTTP/1.1 headers, headers
with a 4-digit year, or headers containing 2-digit years before and
after the year 2000 work correctly.
For additional information, see the following Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/year2000/
- If Microsoft Wallet is installed, Internet Explorer does not allow the
addition of a credit card with an expiration date in or beyond the
year 2000. Wallet also does not allow you to add or edit your credit
card information if your computer's date is in or beyond the year 2000.
For additional information, see the following Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/year2000/
- When you are running Microsoft Outlook Express, you receive an invalid
page fault (IPF) error message in Kernel32.dll when you are downloading
news messages and your modem disconnects.
- You cannot print from Internet Explorer or Outlook Express after you
log off and then log on again. If you print a Web page or HTML message
from Internet Explorer or Outlook Express, log off, and then log back
on without rebooting, you cannot print from any program until you
restart Windows. Print jobs remain in the print queue or the print
queue is paused.
- In Microsoft NetMeeting, the maximum capture frame rate is incorrectly
kept below 17 frames per second (fps). On high-bandwidth connections,
the highest frame rate is approximately 17 fps. The maximum frame rate
is now approximately 30 fps. Results will vary depending on your
hardware configuration. For example, a Pentium Pro or Pentium II
processor is required on both ends to achieve 30 fps.
