Come installare più versione di IE (IE6,7) su PC virtuale

Question

Voglio usare IE7 su Windows Virutal PC, ma inutilmente. Di seguito è quello che ho fatto.

Ho dotorato e installato tre file dal link in basso:

1. WindowsxpMode_en-us.exe

   2.Windows6.1-KB958559-X64-Refreshpkg.msu

   3.Windows6.1-kb977206-x64.msu

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Dopo l'installazione, posso eseguire Windows XP Virtual Machine. Ma ha IE6. Devo avere una versione multipla di IE.

Poi ho abbattuto un file

XPSP3-ie7.exe

Da http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef&displaylang=en

Quindi eseguo xpsp3-ie7.exe, che è un ie7compat.vhd.

La mia domanda è come usare ie7Compat.vhd.

Eventuali istruzioni di installazione passo-passo saranno molto apprezzate!

Answer 1

I'm sorry but you can't have multiple versions of IE on a single XP machine, there's simply no way to have different side-by-side versions of the same browser.

If you need different browser versions for your tests you are going to need separate Viratual PC images of Win XP, for each of the versions. So if you want to test IE 6, 7 and 8 you need to create 3 different virtual PC disk images of XP and then install each version of the browser on each of them.

If your host machine is a Windows 7 machine (Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate) there's a simpler way to do this, by using the Windows 7 "XP Mode". You'll have to create 3 different "XP modes" anyway (which underneath are simply three different virtual PC disk images) and then install the three different browsers there as explained in this post by the Microsoft guys themselves:

Hope that helps!
