SUMMARY

This article describes how to include a Microsoft Internet Explorer fix to an Internet Explorer distribution created with the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK).

MORE INFORMATION

Follow these steps to create the IEAK generated Internet Explorer distribution with one or more fixes included:

1. If you have not already done so, get the latest version of IEAK on the

   Microsoft WWW server (http://ieak.microsoft.com). Run it and select the
   Synchronize button. It will automatically download the latest Internet
   Explorer files for you to use.

2. When you determine that you have a valid fix EXE to use, incorporate the

   QFE<number>.exe into the IEAK. Using the IEAK Wizard, enter the options
   you want to add in the Specify Custom Active Setup Components. When you
   add the component using the wizard, you must specify /Q:A /R:N /N:V for
   the parameters. If you do not specify these parameters, the EXE will not
   install properly.

   The Specify Custom Active Setup Components option is where you add the
   QFE<number>.exe to the IEAK. Select the Add button and browse to choose
   the EXE. Make sure you select the Generate button to create a GUID (if
   you do not create a GUID, this will not work). Likewise, make sure that
   you name the component (any name you choose will do) in the Component
   edit box on this page.

3. Continue using the IEAK Wizard, selecting your option, until you reach

   the Select Installation Options page. Make sure you add your custom
   component (the name you gave in step 3) from the Components Available
   list box to the “Components to Install” list box.

4. Continue using the IEAK Wizard, and generate the Internet Explorer

   install build. Your Internet Explorer install build will now add the
   Internet Explorer fix automatically when you install Internet Explorer.
