I got the following instructions for a sitepoint email:
So, let's say you're curious and you'd like to take IE7 for a spin, but you're not ready to let it oust IE6 as your IE of choice -- can this be done? I'm no expert on the interplay of Microsoft components, but I did manage to get it going, and I'm happy to run you through the process I used to get it running on my XP system. 1. Download and save the beta EXE but don't run it. It's a self-extracting, self-installing ZIP file; we want to do this manually. 2. Create a new folder called 'IE7'. 3. Right-click on the EXE and scroll down to 'Extract to...' for Winzip. If you don't use Winzip, this process should work in your decompression software of choice. 4. Extract everything to your 'IE7' folder, making sure you keep the folder structure intact by keeping 'Use folder names' checked. 5. Open your 'IE7' folder, right-click inside the folder and scroll to 'New/Text Document. 6. Rename that file to 'iexplore.exe.local'. Make sure you're changing the file's format, not just renaming your text document to ' iexplore.exe.local.txt'. 7. That's it. Run 'iexplore.exe' in that folder -- do not run 'iesetup.exe', which will initiate the full install. On 3/7/06, Munson, Jacob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can use both of them at the same time.
