IEAK Does Not Include 128-Bit Encryption of Internet Explorer

ID: Q209421


The information in this article applies to:


SYMPTOMS

Both the compact-disc version and the Web-site version of the IEAK generate a version of Internet Explorer with 40-bit encryption.


RESOLUTION

An addendum to the IEAK is available to upgrade the 40-bit version of Internet Explorer to the 128-bit version. This component has been developed specifically for the IEAK and can be included with an IEAK package. The component contains a self-extracting .exe file (Ie4dom.exe for Internet Explorer 4.x packages and Ie5dom.exe for Internet Explorer 5.0 packages), which can be installed as a custom component in the IEAK.

The following Web page provides all the necessary information required to obtain the 128-bit encryption addendum:

Microsoft Product Support Services cannot send customers this update as Microsoft must legally verify that a person or company is US based. This is a US encryption technology requirement.


MORE INFORMATION

To obtain the 128-bit Addendum for IEAK 4.x, request the IEAK 5.0 addendum. Send e-mail to ieak@microsoft.com requesting that the IEAK 4.x addendum be sent. Include your name and customization code.

NOTE: Including the client-side patches such as Nph-iefinal.exe and/or Msie128.exe as custom components in your IEAK build will have unpredictable results, as these components assume that Internet Explorer is completely installed on the computer, and they are not meant to be redistributed.
