The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022. For a list of what’s in scope, see the FAQ. The same IE11 apps and sites you use today can open in Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode. Learn more here.

You can install Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and your Windows images.

You'll need to extract the .cab file for each supported operating system and platform combination and the .msu file for each prerequisite update. Download the IE11 update and prerequisites here:

After you install the .msu file updates, you'll need to add them to your MDT deployment. You'll also need to extract the IE11 .cab update file from the IE11 installation package, using the /x command-line option. For example, IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /x:c:ie11cab.

Installing IE11 using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

MDT adds IE11 to your Windows images, regardless whether you are creating or deploying a customized or non-customized image. MDT also lets you perform offline servicing during the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager task sequence, letting you add IE11 before starting Windows. For info, see Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).

To add IE11 to a MDT deployment share

  1. Right-click Packages from each Deployment Shares location, and then click Import OS Packages.

  2. Go to the Specify Directory page, search for your folder with your update files (.cab and .msu) for import, and click Next.

  3. Go to the Summary page and click Next.

    MDT starts importing your update files.

    Note
    Ignore any warnings that say, 'Skipping invalid CAB file'. This shows up because the Import OS Packages wizard skips the IE11_Support.cab file, which isn't an actual update file.

  4. After the import finishes, click Finish.

Offline servicing with MDT

You can add the IE11 update while you're performing offline servicing, or slipstreaming, of your Windows images. This method lets you deploy IE11 without needing any additional installation after you've deployed Windows.

These articles have step-by-step details about adding packages to your Windows images:

  • For Windows 8.1, see Add or Remove Packages Offline Using DISM.

  • For Windows 7 SP1, see Add or Remove Packages Offline.


It’s all about the touch.

Following the release of Windows 8.1 Preview, users installing the following build will also be able to try the latest version of Internet Explorer 11, which seems to be aimed towards improving the touch based usage scenarios.

Now, depending on your usage, it might not look as exciting as you expect (considering that it will soon be a year since IE10 RTM’ed). Basically if all your do is use touch then Internet Explorer 11 is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Here’s what you can expect:
– GPU processed gestures and GPU offloaded image decoding, which will not only improve the overall responsiveness but also enhance your tablet/laptop battery life.
– Up to 100 tabs per window (apparently, there was a limit before, which, at least for the Windows Phone version is 6 tabs).
– Full support for Favorite sites with folders and custom tile pictures.
– Swipe gestures for faster navigation with page prediction and pre-rendering, which will load a previous or next page instantly.
– New developer tools (click here for some screenshots)

– SPDY/3 and WebGL support (Microsoft notes that IE11 will scan for unsafe WebGL content and implements a software-based renderer to complement the GPU).
– … and more

Interestingly enough, Microsoft is yet to reveal some of the Internet Explorer 11 features, SPDY support being one of them, which was not detailed in the IE Blog post.

Anyway, if you are curious to read more about the touch UI based improvements, head over to the following page or just download IE11 below.
