Re: Run multliple versions of IE

2010-06-17 Thread Bill Songstad
I installed the iecollection on a XP SP3 VM and it works well enough.  Upon
installation, it gives you the option to check off several versions of ie.
Basically you can choose anything back to IE1.   I'm concerned that none of
the individual programs are recognized by the OS as IE so I cannot check for
patch levels easily.

I only installed 6, 7, and 8.  There were two versions of 6 and one of them
used 100% of the CPU essentially hanging the system.  I just re-ran the
installation package and unchecked the grumpy one.

You can have them all running simultaneously.  Or at least the 3 I
installed.

I do this using VirtualBox on an XP Pro machine -- I have VBox VMs running 
everything from Windows 2000 Pro/IE5 to Win7/IE8.  Really helps in checking on 
CSS differences.  

VBox is free even for commercial use if your webmaster can install it (VBox) 
him/herself.  Once it's installed on his machine, you could certainly install 
the various flavours of Internet Explorer in separate VMs for him/her.

I have an MSAP subscription so I have Windows OS licenses available for doing 
this.  If your budget doesn't allow this, you might have to use WINE.  IE6 is 
rated GOLD under WINE, so you don't need a Windows license to run it. IE7 and 
IE8/32/XP are rated SILVER, mostly functional.

  To the best of my knowledge, that violates the license.  The 180 day
trial is for the *product*, not the instance you've got installed in
the VM.  If you've used it for 180 days, you're done.  You can't get
another 180 days just by reinstalling the same thing.

  (Heck, if you can, let me know, and we'll just use trial software
for everything here at %WORK%.  It would prolly be cheaper to reimage
twice a year than it is to pay for all the licenses we need.  I'm dead
serious.)

VMs in general or those specific VMs for testing?

I cannot speak to the latter, but if you have a virtualization environment,
or you're building one, then the information about the licensing of guest
OSes that we pointed out before still stands.

 Its my understanding that VMs require an OS license.  And you are
 prohibited from using trials for longer than 90 days...  So there would be a
 cost for my webmaster to use the VM on an ongoing basis.  Unless I am
 misunderstanding something.
