IE7 & IE6 possible?

[Jonny69]

I want to give IE7 a go here at work but our software doesn't run on IE7

Is it possible to do a side by side install so that both can be used?

Bah, that's a bit annoying. Don't really want to run a VM.

Seen this link after doing a google: http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone

Not had a chance to try it, to be honest I'm a Firefox user, but would be nice to know if it does work tho

i just installed IE7 stupidly thinking that IE6 would just remain any way. Now i want to downgrade back to IE6 (i'm a firefox user and i only use IE6 to check websites i'm trying to design). Can i do this easily without using a system restore? Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

Sorry if i'm hijacking the thread

You will find ie 7 in add/remove programs, if you uninstall it will leave you with ie 6 again

many thanks flip.

You might need to click the 'show updates' box at the top of the add/remove programs window to see it.

install IE7 as the main windows browser, then install this standalone IE6 (or 5, etc):http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone

Still a virtual machine solution but you at least don't need another copy of XP for this
