how to upgrade IE 5.0 to 5.5

[Guest Khoshravan]

REcently I reinstalled windows2000 in my laptop which is old and cant bear

windows XP. IE version is 5.0 for this OS. Now I have problem installing

Adobe Acrobat Reader and my modem and it requires me to upgrade my IE to at

least 5.5.

(Although I cant understand the relation between Adobe Acrobat Reader and

Modem installation and version of IE).

 

I searched Internet but I couldnt find any solution on how to upgrade my IE

5.0.

Another problem is that, same problem arises for installing my modem so I

can not connect my laptop to Internet. I have to download the requred stuff

in other computer and copy them to my laptop. Is there any solution to

install Acrobat Reader to my old laptop?

IE 5.5. has come and gone. You should download and install IE6.

You can download older versions from this web site:

 

Old Versions Available of Internet Explorer

http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=msie

 

Note: DO NOT download v7.0 for your Win2K system since it's not compatible.

Thanks for your replies.

I have ver 5.0. Isn't it possible to download only the upgrade. ver 6 is

76.7 MB and very big for my slow Internet connection.

76.7 MB is the complete IE package for all Windows versions. The IE6

package for Windows 2000 is about 12MB. You can download only the

packgage for Windows 2000: http://www.compu-docs.com/ieadmininstall.htm

or you can ugrade it online and it will only download the needed files

and components for your Windows version.

 

IE 5.5 (and others) are also available for download here:

Re: how to upgrade IE 5.0 to 5.5

 

Another approach would be to find someone that has the Microsoft CD for IE6 SP1

and borrow it. This CD is still available from Microsoft, but only for delivery

in the U.S. and Canada.

 

FWIW, here's the link to order the CD:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/ordercd/default.mspx

 

As an alternative, you may want to consider installing an earlier version of the

Acrobat Reader. I found the system requirements for the standard edition of

version 6.0 specifies Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, so I assume

that applies to the reader also.

 

You can download version 6.0 or 6.01 from this site:

Good Luck!

Re: how to upgrade IE 5.0 to 5.5

 

Or even another approach could be to use a third-party pdf reader, there are

many out there. I'm using Foxit Reader at the moment, it works very well,

it's free of all the bloat that's become of many Adobe products, and it's

free!
