 | HPC:Factor Microsoft Internet Explorer Distributions HPC Factor offers recognises that many Handheld PC users rely on legacy operating systems such as Windows 95 to synchronise with their Handheld PC. For the benefit of the Handheld PC community we provide a downloads of Microsoft Internet Explorer legally to users.
HPC Factor is a registered distributor of Microsoft Internet Explorer and as such is able to distribute via our web site Microsoft's browser technology to users. This service offer owners of legacy operating systems the chance to upgrade their computer to support the highest level of browser technology possible. These downloads are designed for the host version of Windows, and will not run on Windows CE itself. Many require an existing service pack level on the Operating System to allow the installation to proceed. Which version?
Internet Explorer for Windows 16-bit
Internet Explorer for Windows 32-bit
Internet Explorer for Windows 64-bit
Download from HPC:FactorDue to rampant abuse, we can no longer afford to redistribute MSIE from our IE deployment servers. Our decision to stop offering downloads of our Internet Explorer license is out of financial necessity; if we could avoid it, we would. We do realise that people still require these files, and people looking for Active Desktop under Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 depend upon our redistributable's to gain that functionality directly from Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or 6.0 SP1 without needing to install Internet Explorer 4.0 first. Donate to DownloadIf you would like to obtain MSIE from us, you can still do so. All we ask is that you make a donation towards the running costs of this site - and help us to keep it ad free. For single version/languages of MSIE, please make a donation of at least £2.00 per edition that you would like to request.
Can I get a copy of all of them?It has been very difficult to get hold of all of the installer files for the multiple languages of Internet Explorer. Microsoft never made all of the language releases available together on one CD - in fact IE 5.5 SP2 on its own is over 1.5 GB and cannot fit on a CD! Once we assembled all of the files, the installer had to be painstakingly rewritten to work off-line as you can no longer use the automation tools to do this. We had to effectively write a software database and tools to create these from scratch, a very slow and painful procedure! The total size of all of the Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 SP2, 6.0 SP1, 7.0 and 8.0 installers on the ISO set is 9.52 GB. This is reduced to 7.13 GB when compressed using 7-Zip. In recognition of the time that it took to compile all of these releases into one redistributable and the bandwidth required to send them. We can provide a copy of the ISO's for donations equalling or greater than £20.00. If you have any questions, please contact the HPC:Factor Webmaster first.
