Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / March 2008Developers need IE6 for Vista
I've scoured the internet and from what I read it appears that there is NO way to install IE6 on a vista machine. However, since a large percentage of users still use IE6, us website developers NEED to test on IE6. In addition a lot of site still do not support IE7 (e.g. I'm working on a system called Right Now, which does NOT support IE7). When I bought my new laptop to work remotely I wanted the best but I got something that's proven to be incompatible with web developer standards. Please Please find a way so we can install a working native copy of IE6 on Vista, or I might just as well sell my new computer and buy an old one second hand... http://www.annestahldesign.com ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I've attempted it four times now and have encountered the same error each time: "IE6_VPC.exe is not a valid Win32 application." Microsoft Customer service has suggested a corrupt download; but after four times it does not seem likely to me. I calculated the MD5 sum on the last two downloads, and they are the same. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an accessible MD5 from Microsoft for the original file (I could not get one through Microsoft Customer Service either). So if anyone has recently downloaded and used this file, could they please validate this sum for me?

You have a group of developers but none have heard of VMware? VMware Server is free. We don't know what software you are developing. If drivers or other kernel-level software than virtual machines don't support it. Then you'll have to look into multiboot managers, like GAG (sourceforge.net), removable hard drives, or another host as you mentioned.
