nstalling over Windows 2000 releases

-------------------------------------

Typical and full installations are not currently available for

Windows 2000. Internet Explorer 6 will install a minimal set of files

onto your system. This includes the Internet Explorer 6 Web browser

and scripting support.

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 6 before upgrading to Windows 2000

----------------------------------------------------------------

Windows 2000 contains an earlier version of Internet Explorer

components than Internet Explorer 6. Before upgrading from Windows 98,

Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows NT to Windows 2000, it is

recommended that users uninstall Internet Explorer 6. During the upgrade,

you may receive the following message: "This program may not run correctly

because of new features in Internet Explorer 4.0. You may need to

obtain an updated version of this program." Although this message

is misleading, please click the Details button for a more

accurate description of the problem.

Downloading Internet Explorer 6 using a non-Microsoft download manager

------------------------------------------------------------------

During the Internet Explorer 6 installation, Setup must download components

from the Internet. Users who are utilizing non-Microsoft download

managers (for example, Netzip, GetRight, or RealAudio's Download Demon)

will intercept download requests. This will cause Setup to abort. To

prevent this from occurring, disable non-Microsoft download managers

before running Setup.

High encryption components are included for Windows 98, Windows 98

Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a. Windows
