Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 on same computer for debugging [duplicate]

Running Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 on the same machine

I recently started a new job and my lead is out sick. He assigned me a bug in our code that only affects Internet Explorer 6. The developer box I'm running is Windows Server 2003 with Internet Explorer 7, though.

How can I open the web page and debug it from my computer in Internet Explorer 6?

Can we install two versions of Internet Explorer?

To answer your question: no, it's not possible to have multiple versions of IE (if that is what you meant) installed in a 'normal' way (i.e. not a hack, a sandbox or a VM etc). It's perfectly ok to have multiple browsers of different types installed on the same machine, such as IE8, Firefox 3 and Chrome all at once.

How do I install Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 7?

Unfortunately you cannot install Internet Explorer 6 in Windows 7 computer. The default browser in Windows 7 is Internet Explorer version 8. However you can install Windows XP mode in Windows 7 and use IE6.

Install Virtual PC (now a free download) and one of the disk images from this page that provides you with a vanilla install of XP with the browser you want to test.
