Hope it will work fine, it works surprisingly well (hey it’s bunch of Internet Explorers). :)

Wow I’ll test this right away. I always had some other version or something, don’t remember the name. But it won’t install on my current notebook. So I hope this one does!

IE Collection is fine! I’ve tried other stuff like IE Tester or a Virtual Machine, but I’ve noticed that the IE6 browser inside the collection is very accurate.

I can’t recommend it enough. Great for testing.

I am not much interested. I mostly use collection to check this blog in few major versions of IE to ensure it renders fine. Have no real need for automated screenshot routine.

You’d be better asking people who do design and development for a living.

Rarst, Thanks for the info. BTW, as a IE collection user, what do you think of this multi browser web site screenshot application ?

I had since some issues with it interfering with native IE, not so contained after all. Fixed by upgrading to the latest version of collection.

So, did it work for you ? Any problems ? I’m working on a browser screenshot application and as I rely on IE collection it is interesting to check user inputs. Thanks.

To ensure that site/blog/whatever looks and renders properly in those IE versions you want to support.

Collection site states that under no circumstances IE should be used to actually browse web (and I completely agree) :) It’s bundle for web developers.

I had briefly tried Xenocode but it is both idea I don’t really get and it crashed on me few times.

I am not a big believer in web apps (from speed and stability viewpoint) so for my taste local installation of browser is best variant.

Microsoft made that hard (typical) but fortunately solutions such as subj Collection fix that. :)
