What good tool can be recommended for emulating Internet Explorer 6? I would rather not have to go and install an old copy of Windows XP somewhere.
Internet Explorer 6 was the last version to be called Microsoft Internet Explorer. The software was rebranded as Windows Internet Explorer starting in 2006 with the release of Internet Explorer 7. Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported, and is not available for download from Microsoft.
It is not possible to run any other version of IE except IE11 on Windows 10. If you literally need IE6 run it within a virtual machine, Microsoft provides free virtual machines, for exactly this purpose.
Windows 7. If you have Windows 7 and an older version of Internet Explorer, you can download and install Internet Explorer 11 through the Microsoft Update utility in Windows. You can also download Internet Explorer 11 directly from Microsoft's website.
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.
Microsoft offer a number of Virtual PC images with various versions of IE for download.
They now also offer VMs to run VirtualBox, VMware and Parallels on Windows, OSX and Linux.
