So I'm trying to run some virtual machines for testing different websites, and the only version of Windows I have is XP SP3, which for some reason comes preinstalled with IE8. I'm wanting to uninstall IE8 and install IE6 on one install and IE7 on another. However, searching the internet there seems to be only two methods listed: Add/Remove Programs (it's not there) and navigating to Windows/ie8/ and running some spunint.exe file. As far as the second method goes, this install does not appear to have a Windows/ie8 directory. So, is there any way I can get rid of the IE8 that's already installed, or am I going to be forced to download Microsoft's trial XP which works for crap on my VM software? Thanks!
You could simply use the Microsoft-provided Virtual Machine Images.
