I need to install Internet Explorer 7 on my Windows 7 machine. How can this be done?
You can't install Internet Explorer 7 but you can run it inside Internet Explorer 8 (as the rendering engine is bundled) by doing the following (NOTE: This method also works in IE 9):
- Open IE8
- Open >Tools >Developer Tools
- Switch Browser Mode to IE7 and Document Mode to IE7
Alternatively, you can download an installer for every Internet Explorer version from http://finalbuilds.edskes.net/iecollection.htm
You can't install it natively since Internet Explorer 8 is already part of Windows 7. But you can use the Virtual PC Image supplied by Microsoft for that purpose.
Another option would be to install Internet Explorer 7 within the Virtual XP mode, provided you have at least Windows 7 Professional.
