Running IE6 and IE7 on Parallels Desktop for Mac

Hello,

I want to run both IE6 and IE7 on my mac with Parallels for testing my web development projects, and I'd like to hear what the best practices are for this.

Can I make a second VM with my same Windows license and just install the new IE on that, or should I use one of the other techniques I've heard about (IE6 standalone installer)?

I already have IE6 running and working fine on my Windows installation.

Thanks,
- Andrew

 

Hi,

You can download IE6 standalone here:

It's a little buggy, but it works fine for testing css layouts. Just remember that if you're using conditional style sheets, it will always think you are running IE7 even if you are using the IE6 standalone.
