Internet Explorer 4.0 build 1074 is an incomplete pre-alpha "Nashville Plus Pack" build of Internet Explorer 4, which was shared on BetaArchive on 24 July 2020.[1] The warez group that leaked this build accidentally included files from build 1072 in the first two archive parts, so the installer and first two CABs of this build are missing. This build is overall similar to that of build 1072 otherwise.

This is the last build of Internet Explorer 4.0 with a SHELL32.DLL that contains the Clouds easter egg, as build 1101 does not contain it (although it has the code to handle the folder names, the Clouds easter egg implementation and text has been removed). The Clouds easter egg in this build (and previous builds of Internet Explorer 4.0) uses the Windows 95 credits text, even in the SHELL32.DLL build for NT (which uses the NT folder names).

      SCUM PROUDLY PRESENTS : Nashville PlusPack Build 1074 for Win'95/NT 
                  1st WORKING AND COMPLETE RELEASE! BUGFIXED!

         That's right, this sucka'll install over NT too! Well, that's
      the rumour from Microsoft, the tester on this build couldn't get it
     to install over NT - did I say tester? YES! this build has been test
      installed over Win'95, from the actual CD I .zip'ed up, soooo......


      generic CD key used by Microsoft when in house testing: 111-1111111
                         but if you don't like that...

            Those CD keys from the '95 Beta's still work, here's 2:

                                  757-2573155


                                                              Enjoy !

          welp, leave it to me to fuck up my first release in a while
     not only once, but twice, first leave out some files, then, the sucka
        don't even install :( welp, hope this makes up for it - again - 
        Apologies to all for the troubles you had with that last build
