"Typically, multiple installer doesn't reflect the actuality" I definitely agree with this, you just cant be sure that what you're viewing is accurate. Multiple installer products work ok but you can never really be sure that you're using the complete engine for that version. Here's another option to virtual PC which I use. I haven;t used Virtual PC in some time so I can;t really give a good comparison. But if it makes a difference Virtual box has no connection with Microsoft. http://www.virtualbox.org/

I need to install IE 6.0 alongside of IE 8. Running WIN XP SP 3. The multiple installer at TredoSoft which used to work wont install - are there any other options? Darrin ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I believe you are better of installing a Virtual PC machine and testing it that way. Typically, multiple installer doesn't reflect the actuality (1). Here is a link to download a virtual PC - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx Hope this helps, Anna (1) "Many developers caution that since the innards of IE have been tinkered with a bit, there is a possibility that what you see in a standalone IE does not completely match what a person using that version of IE as his full install will really see. There are no confirmed reports of inconsistencies, and the standalone old versions of IE do show the confirmed bugs of old versions, but it is a possible risk, if a small one." http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8897D ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Note: This email, including any attachments, is confidential.
