We should do this executing following command from the command prompt: IE11-Windows6.1-圆4-en-us.exe /x:A_path_to_the_folder I made the folder IE11_cab manually and I used it to extract the contents of the IE11 installation file. For instance, there is no sense to trying to install IE11 cumulative security update before the installation of IE11. However, renaming the files can help for writing short installation script and to execute the files in the proper order. It’s easier to track all those files here. Furthermore, I renamed the cumulative critical security update for the IE11. msu files from their long name, like Windows6.1-KBnnnnnnn-圆4.msu to shorter name with the KB number only. We can see on this picture all necessary files for this process. That means that updates for the Windows 7 SP1 圆4 will also fit the Window Server 2008 R2 SP1, if there is no special version of the update file. The Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is the 64-bit platform. We must choose appropriate update for our platform. We can obtain those 9 updates either from the Microsoft Update site, following the links to download the files, or we can acquire them using some offline updating solution.
You can apply either just the Windows update service or to install the whole Rollup Update (a mini update pack), following the procedures described in the appropriate posts. We can perform this whole process without it. Moreover, we can include the Windows Updates service patch here, although it’s not mandatory.
There we can find the list of 6 mandatory and 3 optional, yet highly recommended, updates. The Microsoft kindly listed all prerequisites for the IE11 installation on their support page. However, I will explain this integration process in another post.įor today’s trick we need some files. The benefit of the second process is that we can also prepare everything for an integration of the IE11 in the installation image. The second one requires more preparation, but we will have a fully automated process by the end. The first one is simpler and more manual.
What can we do? There is a procedure for updating IE11 on the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 platform, even when the server is isolated from the Internet. The new version of our application requires the advanced features and an enhanced security from the IE11. Many servers are isolated from the Internet and some of them even from the rest of the internal network. However, if you want to update the server platform, then this can be a problem. Many Windows 7 SP1 users knows this already. If you just try to download and run a basic installation file, it will ask you to download other necessary updates. However, the Internet Explorer 11 (or IE11 in short) requires some other updates as its own prerequisites. Then you just needed to restart the computer and that’s it. You simply download a new installation file and run the installation process. Before IE 11, the update process was very simple.
