Anyways, back to our the main topic. To start with Internet Explorer 9 Installation, you need to download the specific installer depending upon your Operating System & the Platform i.e. x86 or x64

In this example I will be showing the example of installing Internet Explorer 9 using Command-Line switches on Windows 7. I have downloaded the following 2 files for Windows 7.

To see the available Command-Line options for Internet Explorer 9, run the installer with /? option. It will be like this IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe /? and hit Enter

Once you hit Enter, it will give you an option with the supported Command-Line Switches.

For example…

IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe /X:D:IE9 (This command will extract the IE9-Win7.CAB file in the D:IE9 folder)
IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe /update-no (Do not check for Internet Explorer updates.)
IE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe /closeprograms (To start installation without rebooting)
