Installing Internet Explorer to Display Tests On-Screen

With Q Local™ software, you can administer tests on-screen. This does not mean online (as in “on the Internet”). Q Local software uses Internet Explorer software (version 5.5 or higher) from Microsoft for display purposes only; the Q Local software does not connect to the Internet except for specific functions such as connecting to the Pearson Assessments web site or ordering report usages online.

If your system doesn’t already have Internet Explorer software version 5.5 or higher installed, the Q Local software installation will inform you that you must install it in order to administer tests on-screen. Internet Explorer software is included on your Q Local software CD or you can install it from Microsoft’s web site at http://www.microsoft.com.

To install the Internet Explorer Software from the Q Local CD

1. Exit all Windows® programs.
   
   
2. Insert the Q Local CD into your CD ROM drive.
   
   The CD should start on its own. If it does, exit the installation.
   
   
3. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose Explore. (If you don’t have a My Computer icon or you have Windows® XP, start the Explore program by choosing Start, All Programs, right-click on My Computer, and left-click on Explore.) Then double-click your CD drive to display its contents in the right pane. It should display numerous folders and files.
   
   
4. Double-click on the IE folder (see illustration below) to display its contents.
   
   



5. In the IE folder, you’ll see another folder named “contents.” Double-click on the contents folder.
   
   
6. Then locate the ie5wzd.exe (or possibly iewzd.exe) file in the display and double-click it (see illustration below).
   
   


The Internet Explorer software will be installed.

(If you already have a more recent version of Internet Explorer installed, a message says that a newer version of Internet Explorer has already been installed. You can close the installation window.)
