Run Internet Explorer 6 under Mac OS X with IEs4OSX

August 18th, 2009 - Development, OS X Apps

Internet Explorer for Mac Microsoft officially stopped developing Internet Explorer for Mac’s a few years ago, but you can still run Internet Explorer on your Mac using a few tools. Now I don’t know anyone that wants to run Internet Explorer 6 for personal use, but if you’re doing any kind of development work for the web, you likely are required to check for IE6 compatibility. Many Mac developers install Windows in VMWare or Parallels to get the ability to check their work in IE, but that’s not needed thanks to IEs4OSX. IEs4OSX is dependent on Darwine to be able to run Internet Explorer 6 on your Mac so be sure to download that too if you don’t already have it. The developer’s page has simple instructions on how to get it up and running, it’s a quick process and will definitely save Mac developers sometime!

For testing purposes I am using laptop with windows and IE on it. I’m not keen on tuning windows on my iMAC.

I installed it solely to run IE without the overhead and cost of running full Windows (need ActiveX just to access a security system). Cannot get it to work – “IEXPLORE.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close” is the message. I wouldn’t care if it was slow, but it’s useless.

Sucks! Can’t get it to work at all. WASTE OF TIME. Don’t bother downloading.
