Hello.

Is there a way, workaround to install IE 6.0 on 64 bit windows machine.

Your help is much appreciated.
The installer simply skips with the error message that the program does not support 64 bit OS.

I do have IE7.0 installed but need to have IE 6.0 as well.
Looks like my question is not providing enough details of what I want.

I have a Windows XP x-64 machine. I have IE7 and Firefox. Now the problem is I want want to use an addin (a toolbar) that has been written for IE6. It does not support Firefox and IE7 does not accept it because it runs in a 32 bit shell.

The most obvious solution seems to be installing IE6 somehow on my 64 bit OS. But IE6 installer does not start and closes with the "OS not supported" error.

Now.. Is there a way????

Ya surely you can install IE6.0 on your Windows XP 64bit edition. You just follow the steps by the installation wizard after opening the installation wizard setup program. I think you may go for IE7.0 which is newly released by microsoft. IE 7.0 works great and it is also faster... You can get IE7.0 from Microsoft service Centre that is.,,

You cant have two explorer's at the same time. so you just go for IE7.0 in your computer.

since you already have ie7 installwed you can install firefox and run it the same time. If you want ie6 just uninstall ie7 and ie6 will be there, underneath.

set ie7 like this for trouble free

Over time IE7 seems to set its own (or programs do) tick boxes in the advance tab.
In IE7 Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab
Click Restore advance settings defaults button.
Then scroll the listings down to near the bottom and:
Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache, which if not empty, will stop you from going online).
Bullet disable phishing filter (optional. Leave it on if you want that type of protection, usually for financial data like internet banking)
Delete Browser History, cookies, add ons, the whole lot regularly.
Close the browser to set the settings.

Yep it is possible but it depends alot off the processor, MB ram ,Hard drive space and graphic card. So its just to install it and see if it works, if not you just install a better version
