Running multiple versions of IE on computer?

Question

Running multiple versions of IE on computer?

Answer 1

You can only have one version of Internet Explorer installed in Windows, you can of course use other browsers though such as Firefox or Safari. To have multiple versions of IE would require multiple installations of Windows - either as a multi-boot system or by using Virtualbox (or similar).

Running Multiple Versions Of Ie

Answer 4

Most of the browsers now can run in developer mode and there you can select which version to simulate. for example F12 will activate the developer mode in IE

Answer 5

I take it you are talking about Adobe CS5 Browserlab. there is an alternative:



Microsoft's Virtual PC or VMWare Workstation (or was it player? I heard one of those VMWare products did the job - comes with XP maybe?). you will probably have to slice up your hard disk into some FAT32 partitions to do this, one for each VM/IE version.



you would also need a legal retail version of the OS in question (

3 of IBM PcDOS2000+windows 3.1 [ie3,4,5],

3 of Windows 98 or me or nt4 [ie5,5.5,6], or 3 windows 2000 [ie5,5.5,6] or xp [ie6,7,8], and windows 7 [ie9beta]



I suggest you use an extended partition and stuff all these in logical partitions.



and the answer is NO. it is very costly. OS's are roughly $99-300 each, and vmware workstation also costs a chunk of change (but I hear it's worth it).



make a list of what OS's you can get legally (not OEM - beware of vendors who say full retail but it's really OEM so they can get it off their shelves).

Answer 6

I'm not clear on what exactly it is that your trying to do but if your intentions are to have 2 browsers why not just download firefox? Than open both the browsers at the same time . Firefox has all the same funtionalities anyway

Answer 7

no way you can do that. I didn't get your question very well, But you can use IE, opera and firefox at the same time.
