Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / August 2006Installing Explorer 5.1.7 on Mac OS 9.0
I am having problems with downloading and operating Explorer 5.1.7. I followed the download instructions, but when I click on the Explorer 5.1.7 icon in the hard disk, the web browser says that it is opening 5.1.7 version but when I check under the Apple icon for 'About Explorer' it tells me that I am operating Explorer 5.0. Any suggestions how to properly open version 5.1.7?? Much thanks, Sharon Try going to Sherlock and doing a search on your drive for Internet Explorer. You may have more than one version on your system. Good Luck, Ivan > I am having problems with downloading and operating Explorer 5.1.7.

If not, when you click on it, it should show up on your desktop as something that looks a bit like a floppy icon. YOu then drag that to your hard drive and that installs it. Version 5.17 says it is version 5. It is only after you install it and click on the application icon using the two keys (Apple or Command key AND i (letter i for Information) keys that you can see the version number. I just renamed the folder Internet Explorer 5.17 and dragged the older version 5 file to the Trash. Hope that helps. > Try going to Sherlock and doing a search on your drive for Internet > Explorer.

It says I have successfully installed it, but I cannot locate it anywhere and it does not show up on my desktop or anywhere when I do a search through my hard drive. I even tried getting rid of my old Internet Explorer and that didn't change anything. I also tried restarting my computer with no results. The only thing I have is the downloaded file on my desktop and the installer file that came out of it. I am very frustrated! Any new ideas? >for 'About Explorer' it tells me that >I am operating Explorer 5.0 My IE5.1.6 correctly reports the version in About Explorer. It sounds like you may have 2 versions and getting them muddled. Check the versions via Get Info in the Finder. Delete 5.0 - it has no advantages over 5.1 that I'm aware of. G. Hi there everyone, (New person-same problem) I am having the same problem, except I have OSX and am trying to install Internet Explorer 5.2.3. It says I have successfully installed it, but I cannot locate it anywhere and it does not show up on my desktop or anywhere when I do a search through my hard drive.

The only thing I have is the downloaded file on my desktop and the installer file that came out of it. I am very frustrated! Any new ideas? The reason you are all having so many problems is because microsoft removed the download links for all versions of Internet Explorer for the Mac. It took me forever to find the links to actually download the browser because most sites just link to Microsoft. Here is a site that you can download Internet Explorer for the MAC.

You can download it from the previous post. Also try 'iCab' (http://www.icab.de/) as an alternative. -Your Neighborhood Friendly Nerd with/ Nerds On Site www.NerdsOnSite.com 877-MY NERDS -- jtjdt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.mcse.ms ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message2047342.html |
