Prerequisites of this Release of the SDK
Before you can download the Internet Client SDK 4.01 refresh, you must have
the following installed on your computer:
- Internet Explorer 4.01.
- Internet Client SDK 4.0 installed.
- If you are developing software, the latest Win32 development files. You
might already have installed these from the latest Platform SDK at
http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/. Otherwise, the subset you need is
available as a download from the Internet Client SDK download page under
"Win32 SDK Libraries & Headers."
- Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 SUR (final version).
- Development tools, if you are building software. This product has been
tested primarily on Visual C++ 5.0. (See "Configuration Issues" below
for more information.)
- Web authors and ISVs, please be sure to read the IE401Readme.txt file
after installing this SDK refresh. It has the latest-breaking
information and last-minute problems.
Installation Issues - Internet Installs
- Download the Internet Client SDK for Internet Explorer 4.01. When
prompted, run the executable from the Internet site or save the
file to an alternative location to be run later.
- The self-extracting file will prompt you for the location of the
Internet Client SDK 4.0 directory. Verify that the directory is correct
and then click the "UnZip" button.
- To use the Alpha Headers & Libraries, you need to download and install
the Internet Client SDK 4.01 refresh using an Intel machine. Then copy
the Headers & Libraries to the Alpha platform.
- If, in the future, you return to the Internet Client SDK download site
and add (download) either the components "ActiveX Component Technology"
or "Other Web Technology," you will need to refresh the Headers &
Libraries files for IE 4.01 by re-running the IESDK401.exe self-
extracting zip file.

updated in this download. To view the most recent documentation, please
