Hi,
For testing purposes, is it possible to have multiple browser versions of netscape and msie on the same PC?
I would really like to have msie 5.5 and 6 on the same PC.

Thanks for any help.

i tried that with msie 6 this morning but when i go into msie 5 dir. it still launches msie 6....why????
do you maybe know where i can download the full exe file for different browser versions.
maybe if i download each exe seperately and then install into seperate di, it might work....

on second thought I think MSIE does a lot more changing to the system then netscape. I don't think you can have 5.5 and 6 on the same pc

I don't think that you will have any luck doing that with IE. It is too closely entwined with Windows. They are like Siamese twins.

uncheck the box that wants to know if you want IE as your default browser. then you should be able to use any one of them.
