Multiple IEs on one machine

re: Multiple IEs on one machine

webecho — Sun, 05 Feb 2006 05:11:42 GMT

Hi Chris
Could you point me in the right direction to find out more about this .local setup please.

I have recently installed IE7 beta, great but now i can't test my websites in IE 6 and, being honest, I'm not about to spend loads of cash on Virtual PC just to run IE 6

So far IE 7 seems to render exactly as FF 1.5 does so maybe it's off with 7 and back on with 6

Cheers

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Review

Ok, lets just put this in perspective. IE is a _web browser_. Yes it is. It's a stinking, bloody web browser.

And you want me to run multiple virtual machines via an expensive software product just so I can test my web sites in multiple versions of this web browser?

Explain to me how this makes any rational sense at all.

I am a software engineer, so I understand the (possible) technical implications of a standalone IE, but here's the thing: I am also a web developer, and I am also a user. And user's *don't* care about technical details. Give us what we want.

If your web browser is too broken to allow multiple versions on the same OS, you have much bigger problems than you think.

Ben Buchanan — Thu, 18 May 2006 04:44:07 GMT

No doubt it is the best way to test multiple IEs... but seriously, it's not a cheap bit of software (especially in a market of free browsers). Although it's still cheaper than buying a Mac Mini just to test Mac browsers ;)

Is there any chance MS would ever release a free, packaged install of VPC+IE? As in, a package which will not run any other app - so MS wouldn't be giving away VPC - but it will load up different IEs?

How I Use IE6, IE7, Firefox & Safari on the Same Machine Simultaneously

Thomas Aylott — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 21:03:06 GMT

Howdy.

I have IE6 & IE7 beta2 running side by side on my testing PC.

I'm a Mac person, so I also have Safari, WebKit Nightly, OmniWeb, Opera 9, Shiira, etc...

I have a PowerPC Mac, so I use Remote Desktop to connect to a barebones PC. Eventually i'll get an Intel mac and Parallels Desktop so I can use a single machine.

Second VPC+IE

Peter Uchytil — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 22:38:16 GMT

I second the recommendation of Ben Buchanan above. Make a VPC+IE package that allows for testing multiple IEs. It would be great if all users would upgrade en masse when new browsers are available, but it just ain't gonna happen. As a developer I really need a way to run IE6 and IE7 at the same time. VPC sounds like a good deal, but is on the spendy side just to be able to test a browser.

I can't believe that you seriously expect developers to shell out $$$ for Virtual PC (which has it's own problems) simply to test their web sites in different versions of browsers -- one of them a BETA!! It is just a web browser and should be separated from the OS. It is ridiculous that IE is so tied to Windows that you can't uninstall it or have different versions running side-by-side.

re: Multiple IEs on one machine

Steve — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 01:39:55 GMT

VPC is free, but you have to buy a new copy of Windows if you bought from an OEM like HP, since their copy of windows only installs on its hardware (which it can not detect on VPC). So you still have to spend $300 to use IE6.

Ronny — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:40:10 GMT

So, I have to test via VPC. Ok. That's one more SW installation on my box. It is also one extra OS license. Another "box" to nurse...

But, I am a developer and I am using MS Visual Studio for my development. I am actively developing new sites, not only doing regression testing of old sites. Meaning that line-by-line debugging is something that I do a lot when developing client-side scripts. So, if I want to debug my scripts I need to install MS Visual Studio too on the VPC. Great. Luckily the VS Express edition is free, but still needs install and nurturing. Because now I need to export my source to be able to use the same project files, or maybe create some elaborate sharing scheme between the dev-box and the VPC... Sigh... This whole process really starts annoying me. I need to have a duplicate WinXP and development setup just to test my sites in IE6?

And, what about those of us who also must support IE5.5 and IE5. Heck, I know there are people who even have to support IE 4.01! What about them?

There are people who (unofficially) has indeed been able to create a standalone package for IE3,4,5,5.5 and 6. This makes me wonder why Microsoft ignores the developers' needs? With MS's resources I can't believe it is such a big problem to create standalone versions of IE. I have hesitated using the "unofficial" solution, but I now feel almost forced too. Yes, the unofficial solution isn't perfect (although as far as I know, only cookies seems to still be a problem with the standalone IE6 version). But - really, VPC with it's additional setup is far from a perfect solution too!

I seriously don't believe this!

The only reason these people want two versions of IE on their computer is so they can compensate for the mistakes of one [or both] of them! Web developers and designers everywhere are sick of IE and it's non-compliance, but need to design around it because it seems to be the most widely used browser.

So you want us to install another microsoft product on our computer so we can iron out the faults in the first one??

Lunacy!

re: Same story, same complaints, and still we buy MS stuff...

Joe Public aka the opinion of the world — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 22:08:43 GMT

The same problems have existed since MS started writing software. Continue patching bad software and releasing it as 'updated' and 'upgraded'. The problem is, we continue to buy it.

Switch to linux, or quit complaining. Do something, or expect the same crappy software from here on in. Open source is the only way to go. Let the users develop/test the software, let the oem ppl make it better, everyone is happy. Novell is on the rise, look at RedHat, it's making huge leaps. MS market share is at it's lowest since it's inception, and dwindling by the day.

If anyone fed up with the BS that MS is selling, just research for 1 day, how easy it is to switch to Linux, running OpenOffice and Firefox, they'll never go back.

For beginners, go with Ubuntu

Novices, RedHat or SuSe 10.1

Experts, gentoo or debian
