That is a great little trick :D

Do you now if that will work with other MS updates?

Perfect timing. I was just thinking about burning a clean install disk with all the updated drivers and apps...etc etc.

Dude! This totally sucks. I could've used this trick yesterday to help out my friend with dial-up who needed IE6 on his Win98 machine for his Metasoft Client Database Program to work. I searched google for like an hour for key terms such as "IE6sp1 redistributable" and NOTHING came up. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! Nice job though. I will always check bleedinedge "FIRST" from now on. :wave:

Great trick, time to burn a nice new updated CD of utils. . . :-)

Are you sure this still works? I've tried it a couple of times with the newer versions and it didn't work.

I mean, can you verify this works? ;)

[ThugsRook]

i just tested it ~ it works perfectly.

Ok, thanks... I'll try again. Maybe I made some error on that commandline.

Cheers! :-)
