If you choose "Save this program to disk", you will be asked for a directory (typically c:\temp) and the software will be copied to that location . You will then have to go to that location and run the software. If you choose "Run this program from its current location", then the installation process will begin immediately.

    Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 sets the mark in high-performance Web browsing, personal communication, and digital interactivity. This download includes the Explorer browser; offline browsing components; and necessary system enhancements to support the latest HTML, Java, and multimedia conventions. Optional features include language extensions, VB script support, Web server folders, advanced authoring components, and improved graphics-handling. You won't notice major look-and-feel improvements in this update, but you will enjoy smooth browsing, improved FTP transfers, and faster delivery of table-bound contents. Another nifty little enhancement is the auto-insertion of usernames and passwords for form fields embedded in Web pages. This archive contains the components for a full installation of IE5, including Outlook Express, Net Meeting, FrontPage Express, NetShow, Web Publishing Wizard, Microsoft Chat 2.0, and multimedia enhancements. During installation, you can choose to install fewer components for a "custom" build, or let the software create an on-demand "minimal" installation. This is a customized version of Internet Explorer 5, available exclusively on ZDNet; it contains several enhancements, including bookmarks to key places on your favorite computing Website. A generic (non-customized) version of Internet Explorer is also available.
