Have a range of IE builds on test machine

Question

I currently have a testing environment for web apps on a virtual machine.

The problem - i would like to keep IE 6 for testing and also have access to newer versions of IE as well.

How can i do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

On the same machine it's a little harder to do. You could try to use something like IETester. Other solution would be simply to have a testing environment for each version of IE.

Answer 2

I use Virtual PC and a couple XP images with IE6 and IE7 that Microsoft supplies at:

I also install other versions of firefox and opera on those virtual images as well. The current images expire on July 1st, but they will likely replenish those with other images in the future. (Hopefully!)
