Lots of links in Google about how to do it: http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+install+multiple+versions+of+IE+on +Windows Only caveat I'm aware of is that any IE installed in such a fashion appears as the highest installed version (IE7, in your case) when evaluating MS conditional comments. Another option is to use VMWare or some other virtual PC technology to install and run a virtual Windows PC on your existing one, and install the older IE version on it. You can have a separate virtual machine for each different browser version. Each browser set up this way responds to IE conditional comments as its own version. Want an older version of a browser?
