Windows 2000 - Download Internet Explorer 6.0 for all Windows versions

November 29, 2013
Updated: April 14, 2022
Quick overview:

Microsofts neuester Onlinestreich ist schon seit einiger Zeit frei erhältlich und für jedes Betriebssystem auf den Windows Downloadseiten zu bekommen. Leider kann man den IE nur einer Version runterladen und zwar in der Windowsversion, in der man sich gerade aufhält. Gerade für Benutzer von Dualbootsystemen, welche mehrere Windows Versionen parallel verwenden, ist dies sehr ärgerlich, da Sie für jedes System ein eigenes IE Paket herunterladen müssen.

However, with a little trick it is possible to download a bundle that contains all Internet Explorer 6.0 versions. And this is how you proceed:

1. Click here to open the Microsoft Internet Explorer product page. Click here on Download to download the Internet Explorer setup file via Download (in the language selection). Save the small file in a meaningful directory such as C:\IE6\ and confirm.

2. Now click on Start/Run and enter "C:\IE6\ie6setup.exe" /c: "ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E" (with the quotation marks).

3. Immediately after this input, the conventional installation wizard starts, but the following surprising scenario appears as soon as you leave the first confirmation behind:

You can now opt for all versions so that you have a single IE setup folder which then works with all Windows operating systems.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
