Standalone IE6

Posted: November 24th, 2006 | Author: dotblack | Filed under: Web-Browsers, Web-Design | 2 Comments »

Couple of months ago I wanted to run a standalone IE7 beta1,2 but the last few days I was in the search for a way to use a standalone IE6 after I upgraded to IE7. Many developers have come accross this, for sure. Brilliant solutions are out there for standalone IE installations, but there’s one that comes with less hassle than the rest. It’s Yousif Al Saif’s multipe IE installer that installs IE3 thru IE6. I never even blinked an eye for users who used versions of IE lower than IE5.5 but now all I need is IE6.

Try out multipe IE installer by Yousif Al Saif and have all the versions of IE while enjoying the use of IE7. I’d recommend IE7 and IE6, since I’m going to discontinue support for IE5.5 users on my work.

On another note, I found this Wikipedia entry on IE, very informative with a timeline and a flashback to the early days. Nice to read.
