Run Internet Explorer 7 Without Installing It
Note:To run Internet Explorer 7, you need Windows XP SP2.
Step 1
Download Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 (11.9 MB) from here .
You shouldn’t try this with the latest IE7 Beta 3.
Step 2
With WinRar (get a free trial here) extract the files from the setup to a folder
like C:\Program Files\IE7.
Step 3
With notepad, create a new file named ie7.bat in that folder, and copy the code below (courtesy of Jon Galloway):
@ECHO OFF
TITLE IE7 Launcher 1.4ECHO IE7 STANDALONE LAUNCHER 1.4ECHO Updated for IE7 Beta 2 PreviewECHO.ECHO Do not close this window or it will not clean up after itself properly.ECHO You can pass a URL into this batch file, like this:ECHO ie7.bat www.microsoft.comECHO.ECHO When you close IE7, this will remove the registry key and shut itself down.ECHO.ECHO Setting up IE7 for standalone mode...PUSHD %~dp0ECHO Removing IE7 registry key and set the version vector to "7.0000".> %TEMP%.\IE7Fix.reg ECHO REGEDIT4>>%TEMP%.\IE7Fix.reg ECHO.>>%TEMP%.\IE7Fix.reg ECHO [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C90250F3-4D7D-4991-9B69-A5C5BC1C2AE6}]>>%TEMP%.\IE7Fix.reg ECHO [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{000214E5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

Step 4
In the same folder, create a new file ie7.vbs with this code:
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")oShell.Run "ie7.bat", 0, True
Step 5
Create a shortcut on the desktop to ie7.vbs. Change the icon of the shortcut to one from IE7′s iexplore.exe.
Step 6
Go to the subfolder update and run xmllitesetup.exe (this way, IE7 will have tabs).
Now you have a standalone Internet Explorer 7 that runs along with
Internet Explorer 6. You can launch IE7 from the shortcut you’ve
created on the desktop.
