What this means is we are going to have to do a fair amount of file searching to find files related to IE7. The installer will refuse to work on Windows 2000, and running it through Extended Kernel also fails. Is it possible to install IE7 on Windows 2000? Not in its current state. * An Ethernet cable and a valid windows installation separate from the experimental one (I.E. Extended Kernel users can get a newer version working. * Your favorite internet browser that is fast and has a version that supports 2k. If you use Extended Kernel, the latest supported XP version of Winrar should work

* Older version of Winrar or any 7zip for extracting any zips we may encounter. You won't need to install it, you can just unzip it and open up the exe. Make sure you have 7zip (they still support 2k I believe) or an older winrar (though with Extended Kernel, the latest version for XP should work) to extract anything if possible. Put those onto a USB drive (any will work, and if device installer pops up, you can safely close it and navigate to the drive to pull the files off of it), and then copy them to the 2k installation. With a computer connected to the internet, look up your computer manufacturer and search around for the latest released Ethernet drivers. * Updated Ethernet driver for Windows 2000. Once done, install XP SP2 to its respective drive and then you're done. Exit setup, put in the 2000 disk and install that normally to its respective drive. Using a windows install disk Vista or later, format the drive, and then create two partitions labeled Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Windows XP service pack 2 with IE7 and auto updated turned off. * Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, fully updated, Windows Installer 3 installed and the like. What I am using (and what I recommend you use if you go through with this)
