A couple of years ago Microsoft offered 2 different downloadable versions.
Then, they started offering a minor upgrade of 1 meg or so that would
enhance the encryption from the 40 bit to 128.  It was supposed to be
available to US citizens and selected others domestically that met the legal
requirements.  This was scrapped with law changes a few years ago.

My assumption was IE was only available in 128bit version now.  I presume
that your user is using IE 5 with 40 bit, and Microsoft probably doesn't
even make the 128bit available for individual download.  They probably want
to encourage a full IE 6 SP1 download of 10megs or so.  That is probably
your only solution, have them download the whole upgrade.

Sorry :-)

Subject: [KCFusion] OT: Upgrading IE encryption


I have a very unhappy user who installed a low-encryption version of
Internet Explorer. Now he can't use our Web applications. He wants to know
if there is a way to upgrade to the full 128-bit version of IE, but I can't
find anything about upgrading on the Microsoft site. Any tips? Or will he
have to remove/reinstall?
