Run Multiple Versions of IE on Your PC

Although Internet Explorer 7 has been released, many users still use Internet Explorer 6 on their machine. For web developers, it’s a different story because the new IE7 modified few things which make sites have a different design in both IE6 and IE7 browser version. Using both Internet Explorer 6 and 7 might be useless to a normal user but very helpful to a web developer who needs to make sure his or her sites are compatible with different browsers.

To have both IE6 and IE7 version installed on your computer, you need to install the standalone versions of Internet Explorer. By that I mean there are automatic standalone IE installers that you can download and install to get different version of Internet Explorer running on your PC in no time. Here are the two possible download scenarios:

If you have installed IE7 on your computer and would like to install older versions of IE, you should download the Multiple IE installer. This program can install your choice of standalone IE3 IE4.01 IE5 IE5.5 and IE6.

If you already have Internet Explorer 6 installed and wish to install IE7 while keeping IE7 then you should download Internet Explorer 7 standalone Installer. Simply download and run the program and it will automatically install standalone IE7.
