All others must be downloaded from Microsoft. Update: 04/17 21:02 GMT by P : pumpkinhead writes in that ZDNet has a story with more details.

Friendly tip for the Internet Explorer update by helixblue · 2002-04-17 01:31 · Score: 4, Informative

Not that I use IE except for testing, but I found that you only get prompted for the update if Internet Explorer is in /Applications.

I had moved it into /Applications/Internet on my machine.
