If you are a corporate administrator and you have specified a silent installation for this package, you can only specify a single installation option (mode).
Important
| • | Regardless of the installation options you configure for your package, Windows Update Setup presents only one installation option to users running the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. This installation option includes the full set of Microsoft Internet Explorer components, along with all custom components included in your package. |
