Running IE6, IE7, and IE8 on the same machine

IS there anyway to have IE 6.0, IE 7.0 and IE 8.0 all installed on the same machine? Using Windows XP?

I am trying to test my web application and it must be able to run in IE 6-8

Answer 1

Not that I know of ... we use VirtualPC to handle that situation.

Answer 2

I don't believe there is a simple solution to this. I think the best solutionis to setup something like VMWare and have multiple version of Windows installed on each:

• Windows XP - IE 6.x
• Windows XP - IE 7.x
• Windows XP - IE 8.x

I say Windows XP because you might have issues getting/installing older version of IE on Vista.

I think IETester is what you are looking for. http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

Answer 4

The application MultipleIE that lets you run IE 3, 4, 5, 5.5 and 6 at the same time.

And then you can run IE7 in standalone mode.

Answer 5

Start with IE 8 installed,

Install IE7 Standalone

Install IE6 (and below if needed)

Answer 6

For the last few months I have switched to just using the developer tools included with IE8. It lets you change the document rendering mode on the fly (Quirks, IE7, IE8) as well as the browser mode (IE7, IE8, IE8 Compatibility). Combined with Virtual PC for any additional browsers that may need to be tested it's a pretty solid setup that is nice and convenient.
