So I’ve been pretty lazy posting on Everomp lately. Boo hoo. Luckily it’s been for a good cause. We’ve been heavily (overly) saturated with work, both print and web. In wrapping up a micro-site I’ve been utilizing Multiple IE for testing purposes.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend this solution for multiple IE testing. It’s self-explanitory: it gives you the ability to test in different versions of our favorite web browser. It goes as far back as IE3, however that might be overkill (though interesting for nostalgia sake!). I find it most useful for testing in IE6 and 5.5.
As usual, with anything IE-related, there is a catch. If you’re running Windows XP on your testing platform (be it a laptop, or Parallels on a Mac) you have a 50/50 shot of hitting a brick wall. Namely, IE6 and 5.5 crashes upon opening, making these browsers virtual paper weights.
After reading through dozens of comments, I found the solution:
Apparently it (possibly) has to do with Norton Antivirus considering these browser applications “dangerous” and shuts them down. In a way it makes sense, because Multiple IE is simply a hacked version of IE. I’m running a factory-installed version of Norton, though I can’t honestly confirm if this is the reason.
The fix? Rename the browser program file from “iexplore.exe” to “my_iexplore.exe.local”.
I won’t explain why it works. I’m not a good enough programmer to comprehend the answer. Bottom line: it worked for me.
I would note that, upon program name change, IE6 crashed once for me. The second time around it ran just fine. It has since worked perfectly.
