IE^ on Windows 7
Hi We have a couple of applications (being replaced in 12 months or so) that we have to use IE6, does anyone know how we can run IE6 on either Windows 7 or Windows XP. Cheers Paul.

XP isn't a problem so install the XP mode on Windows 7 and run from there. Read this http://blog.dotsmart.net/2009/06/24/using-windows-7s-xp-mode-to-run-ie-6-and-ie-7-side-by-side/ there's more but that should be enough. Why did you guys migrate when you knew you're applications couldn't run on anything besides IE6?

You'd have to use Windows XP Mode, which is only available in some versions of Windows. That virtual XP OS can then host IE6 for you. If this was helpful, please vote by clicking the green triangle. If it solves the issue, click Propose as Answer. Thanks!

You could run IE 8, (which is safer and faster than IE 6) in compatibility mode, which emulates the way sites appear in older versions of IE 6. Here is a link that can help you learn how to use Compatibility Mode: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956197/ -KylerIE 8 Outreach Team
