Unless you installed it in "compatibility mode" (which kept a somewhat crippled version of the previous version around), it could not have done so. In order for IE to fully work properly, it needs to install upgraded versions of the DHTML engine, networking DLLS, and various other things into the system directory. You might have been getting an About box that showed IE5.0 for some reason? -Chris Wilson -----Original Message----- From: James Craig [mailto:james_craig@Powered.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 2:28 PM To: Chris Wilson; www-style@w3.org Cc: patrick@patrickcurry.com; Natanya Pitts Subject: RE: opacity in css but IE 6 was listed as "public preview" (in other words, "beta")... when i installed the IE 5.5 beta it left IE 5.0 on until i installed the official release of IE 5.5. james -----Original Message----- From: Chris Wilson [mailto:cwilso@microsoft.com] James Craig [mailto:james_craig@Powered.com] asked: >ps. when i intalled the IE6 public preview, it deleted my copy of IE 5.5... >is this and official release, is this a bug, or did it hide 5.5 somewhere? >thanks. This is not a bug. IE is based on a set of system services, like MSHTML.DLL - when you install a new version of IE, you're upgrading those services. IE5.5 is gone. -Chris Wilson
