MutipleIE - Install multiple versions of IE on one computer

One of the problems we often encounter with front end development is a browser compatibility issue. And Internet Explorer seems to be the biggest offender of all when it comes to rendering CSS properly. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t have anything against Microsoft or Bill Gates specifically, it is just that I find it very frustrating when websites render correctly in Firefox and everything else but not in IE. There are quite a few versions of IE which are being used and therefore, you will need to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer.

This is when MultipeIE comes in to save your day. MultipleIE is a Windows installer which allows you to install standalone IE3, IE4, IE5, IE5.5 and IE6 on a single computer along side IE 7 (or any IE version) without having to overwrite an existing version.

MutipleIEs - Install multiple versions of IE on one computer

MutipleIE definitely is a life saver for me!

Note: You might also be interested in installing a standalone Internet Explorer 7 if you have got IE 6 installed with Windows.
