Multiple IE’s

For those that don’t know, it is actually possible to have more than 1 version of IE running on Windows, basically they are installed as a standalone application. Luckily, someone has done the work for us and created an installer that allows you to select which versions of IE you want to install (not including IE 7, though there is information available if you want that as standalone).

Have a read through the article, just follow the simple instructions, or just scroll to the bottom of the article and download the installer. If you are running Vista, then I would suggest reading the whole article, as there are problems. May even want to read through the comments incase there are better solutions for Vista that I am not aware of.

You will notice a few problems when testing in older versions, for example, when clicking on a bookmark, it will show the print dialogue. It’s not a big problem for most, as long as you don’t need to do any print testing (work around for that as well). Those problems relate to IE 6.0, am not sure about the other versions. I did try out IE 3.0 at work, but that just blew up :p

Have fun testing ;)
