Internet Explorer 8 – List with ALL Languages directly from Microsoft
Ever wondered why it’s so hard to get Internet Explorer 8 directly from Microsoft these days? They hide those links pretty well since the support for Windows XP officially ended. However you can still get IE8 from their official servers.
UPDATE 05.09.2016: I’ve added more stuff from the Github page now, the links below ONLY represent the direct IE downloads, not the other stuff that’s on my DropBox.
I’ve downloaded and re-uploaded every single language-version of Internet Explorer 8 onto my Dropbox, unmodified and directly from Microsoft of course. These however only work for Windows XP 32bit.

If you rather want to download it directly you can take a look here, the following list is simply grabbed from THIS GITHUB PAGE.
To find your language simply look at the ending of the URL in this list, the last 3 letters before the “.exe” are the language.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 |
Thank you so much for this! I have been looking for a norwegian IE8 (Windows XP) for ages.
Hi. I’m the original poster of these direct links. Thanks for sharing. It’s really a pity that MS removed the download pages for that.
I’m here just to remind you guys that I also list the direct links of all required IE8 updates, which would save you time from going to Windows Update to download them. Just see the directory (https://github.com/Explorer09/Ex-pit/tree/master/IE8_XP_Installer_Upgrade/download_links) if you are interested.
Note that I host none of Microsoft files in my repositories — only the links. I state here to avoid copyright controversies later.
Heya, thanks for the link! I’ll probably download them too and provide a backup-link, just in case. I hope Microsoft won’t care enough to take them down.
thanks alot for the links
