Internet Explorer 4.x Setup Downloads Setup Files Again Instead of Installing

ID: Q244463

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01, 4.01 Service Pack 1, 4.01 Service Pack 2 for Windows 95
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 Service Pack 2 for Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you run Internet Explorer 4.x Setup, Setup may download all of the Setup files again even though they have already been downloaded.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if Setup detects that a previous installation attempt was not successful and uses the Safe Recovery option.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, run Setup and choose the Download Only option. When the download process is finished, double-click the Ie4setup.exe file in the Internet Explorer Download folder so that the Safe Recovery option is not used.
