stand alone internet explorer?

[groovin]

Ive used portable FF, and it works great. But for some IE only sites, is there a trustable portable IE I can use?

Thanks!

Have you tried adding the "IE Tab" extension into your portable FF??

Thanks for that link StormSide, but it wont work in my case. It still piggybacks off of the IE thats installed and doesnt seem to obey the proxy settings I have in my portable FF... and that's the biggest problem. I need the portable browsers to maintain different proxy settings than what the workstation might have.

In case anyone is wondering, this is not an attempt to circumvent network rules, I am trying to set up a testing environment capable of hitting multiple test sites through different proxies. Having the users reconfigure these themselves is not an option, nor is a reconfiguration script. The browsers have to be stand alone and self contained (portable).

I don't know of any portable version of IE.

Well with Microsoft claiming all in all those years of litigation that IE is integrated to the OS and cant be separated I don't think there any IE portable. Even a hack would get the wrath of MS.

Probably impossible, the MSHTML rendering component is installed with the OS and I doubt you could find a way to easily override it.

Why don't you run FF as IE? Mask browser identification as IE?
