      [IE11 Offline Installer redist]  (which one to get)

      Its seems like there’s two version of archive-executable installers packaged with the setup installer binary, along with additional files, some of which are tunable to customize our installation:
      Filename: EIE11_EN-US_WOL_WIN764.EXE  (file version 11.0.0.7)
      Official mirror/Dl page: https://support.microsoft.com/help/18520/download-internet-explorer-11-offline-installer

      Filename: EIE11_EN-US_MCM_WIN764.EXE  (file version 11.0.0.3)
      Official mirror/Dl page: https://support.microsoft.com/help/18520/download-internet-explorer-11-offline-installer

      Than you’ve got the raw unarchived/single binary Setup Installer (which seems to be universally present in all of the afformentioned archive-packaged version:
      Filename: IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe
      Official miror: https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie

      Each having different signed cert and build specs (sig date, hashing type, version, etc..) (all of em are signed with outdated cert, yet are released as current and official latest build)
      TLDR: which of those redist you get to install IE11… and why

      Bumping that one.. some reply would be appreciated..

      Yesterday, while swimming in the FUD dilemma that is 2670838, I took the plunge and got it installed. (note that I don’t use IE11 as a browser, only a the mandatory prerequisite for the windows OS gui shell (Win Explorer)..
      Noticed some disproportioned text affecting pretty much everything (all chrome, ff, included) so I UNINSTALLED it.. The output ==> IE11 automatically rolled back to IE8

      So i’m now reinstalling it, and will grant @ch100 +1 “personal-worth cred token” for this #102810 post, which ended out being valid.
