Internet Explorer Collection: Run Multiple IE Versions Simultaneously

One big limitation in Internet Explorer is that we can't run different IE versions on a single system. Its a big problem mainly for webmasters. They design a website but they can't make sure whether the site will look OK in all IE version or not? It might look perfect in IE7 but there are big chances that it might look broken in IE6.

Other browsers like Firefox, Opera, etc allow to run different versions of their browsers on a single system but Microsoft has not made IE in such manner.

So here comes the "Internet Explorer Collection". Internet Explorer Collection allows to run multiple IE versions on a single system. Even you can run them simultaneously. You need to download the EXE file, install it and at the time of installation, you can select which IE versions do you want to install:

The collection contains all IE versions from 1.0 to 8.0:

Internet Explorer 1.0 (4.40.0.308)
Internet Explorer 1.5 (0.1.0.10)
Internet Explorer 2.01 (2.1.0.46)
Internet Explorer 3.0 (3.0.1152)
Internet Explorer 4.01 (4.72.3110.0)
Internet Explorer 5.01 (5.00.3314.2100)
Internet Explorer 5.5 (5.51.4807.2300)
Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2800.1106)
Internet Explorer 7.0 (7.0.5730.13)
Internet Explorer 8.0 (8.0.6001.18372)

You can start any desired IE version from Start menu.

As always I have no luck. Moreover this program messet up with my IE7. :(
Now every drop down menu is pop up.
Links bar don't appear. Also command bar icons don't appear when I look for drop down menu. When I try to open Favorite pages shows me Print dialog (default click become Print not Open).
System Restore I have disabled because never restored properly what I want.

I'm so unlucky with IE simultanoulsy versions. :P

Hello Vishal,

i have downloaded the iecollection1101.exe and there is only 3 versions of IE inside (IE1.0,IE1.5,IE2.01) is it because i already have IE8 beta 2 installed?
