Running IE 7 Beta 1 side by side IE 6 (tested on XP)

As we all know, IE 7 Beta 1 is publicly available to developers for testing on msdn. Although I am not a msdn user, I only heard that the download has been made on msdn, But I have downloaded a version from other places. Currently, only XP is supported.

However, after all, it is Beta. If beta is a big deal like Vista, a new system will be installed after a partition is created. However, Internet Explorer is not the most popular developer like me. It is used by ordinary people on the Internet every day, it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience caused by the differences in the operability of the new version. Therefore, even if there are downloads, it is estimated that many people are also discouraged by this "Beta. (Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that beta is for developer now, just for testing)

Last night, I went online and suddenly saw a name named "Running IE 7 Beta 1 side-by-side with IE 6", which was immediately attracted, but obviously, the post content is also transferred, and there is a connection with the current post title with the same name. Click in. In detail, haha is really a good thing, as the title says, you can run two versions of IE on the same machine. In order to indicate that this article is reproduced, so the title I also use the same as that on the head, the original connection is: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2005/08/12/422335.aspx

Below, I will describe the test process.

1. Obtain the download package of ie 7.0 Beta 1;
2. Extract the content in the package to a target folder;
3. Find a file named shlwapi. dll in the directory of IE 7 and delete it;
4. Create a new file in the directory and rename it ipolice.exe. Local.
5. Double-click iexplore.exe and run IE7.

Because my next version is not very complete, and I feel suspected of missing files (the entire package is about 10 MB), it can run normally, but occasionally prompts an error.

My machine is 2003 of the system, so an error was reported almost every test at the beginning. Later, I tried it on my wife's machine and it was okay once. Because she is using XP, it is estimated that my next version only supports XP systems.

in of BTW and jongalloway, this method applies to IE of any version, you can even install ie3 to experience the old time.
