Installing multiple versions of Internet explorer

I am a developer and I need to test my application sometimes on different browsers. As part of it when I installed Internet Explorer 8 and wanted to return back to earlier versions it was a time wasting journey. Generally if you have installed a higher version of IE, then you cannnot install any lower versions directly. You need to uninstall it first. With IE 6 on your PC if you install IE 8 , it over rides IE 6 .If you want to go back to IE 6 again just uninstall the current version IE8 . Your pC will be poiting to IE6 . But say with IE 6 on your PC ,you installed IE 8 and then you wanted IE 5.Then it will be hell of a task to unisnatll evrything and then install IE5 . There's solution to this problem .



Internet Explorer Collection is a nice free bundle which allows us to use different versions of Internet Explorer.
While running this Internet Explorer Collection installable it prompts for all versions of explorer to be installed .



Internet Explorer Collection allows us to install every version of Internet Explorer right from IE 1.0 to IE 8.0 Beta. Good news is that it even works on Windows Vista . While installing IE Collection, certain versions of IE which are incompatible with your operating system will be automatically disabled. They regularly update their application adding newer versions of IE as and when they are released.
