I'm not convinced that IETester changes the underlying APIs correctly. Because of bad experience with "Multiple IE" simulators in the past I don't test on anything but the real install.

I hear you there. I just wish it were easier to have multiple versions of IE laying around without having to boot a VM for each. Heh.

  ThinApp [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_ThinApp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_ThinApp] is pretty useful when needing to do "classic" browser testing.

    I don't think many people would be willing to invest $6,000 USD (minimum!) to test old versions of IE.

Yeah, I had trouble with those "portable IE6" implementations too. But IETester seems to be a lot closer to the real thing, at least as far as I can tell.

IEs4Linux might work for you then. It can install the original IE6, IE5.5, and IE5 under Wine. IIRC it uses a separate wine tree for each version, so there's no chance of the IE6 js interpreter being run in IE5.

Hi, IETester hooking is not perfect yet, but the engine is the correct versioned engine used on each tab. You can find more information here : http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HowDoesItWork http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HowDoesItWork Regards.
