In regards to the links ppl have given you to the 'Multiple Internet Explorer versions' downloads, you should be aware of the potential issues. There is no evidence either way that says this method is a true representation of older versions of IE and all inherent issues with Javascript, CSS, DOM, etc. Sure it's a great way to quickly check cross-browser compatibility across a few different version of IE, but never forget that the most comprehensive method of testing is to have a proper suite of OS's and browsers available to you, either via multiple PC's or one PC with Virtual OS's. If you have the time and the money then your final product should be put through a proper test suite before going to production, don't rely on 'hacks'.
