I need to test a website with IE7.
Does anyone know if there was a way of doing this in windows7 without setting up a VM with XP+SP2 on it?

Expression Web SuperPreview is Microsoft's own tool for this.

I like IETester a lot. Works pretty good and no need to have the old versions installed. It runs on 7 as well.

You can try Spoon Browser Sandbox.

Impact from EOL of IE11 for VB6 using MSHTML

We have VB6 LOB app that makes extensive use of the MSHMTL.* and IEFRAME.* To be clear, nothing is running in IE11 and there's zero ActiveX. We use these for displaying reports and the like.
With the end of IE11 being announced here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge) and elsewhere, there's some confusion as to whether the DLLs, etc. will likewise go away.
Anyone know more since TechNet has pretty bare bones info on this?
In advance, save any comments to port to .NET or why still VB6. It's tens of thousands of lines of code, works perfectly, and is not on the internet - so not a security risk nor will .NET have added any value. Helps, too, that it's portable as all the dependencies exist even now on latest Windows 10 releases.
Lets read the page you linked to
Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet
Explorer available for a supported operating system receives technical
support and security updates.
and from the table
Windows 10 Internet Explorer 11
That page does not announce the end of Internet Explorer.
The page says what is well known. It is 4 years old after all.
What is says is that only the last version of Internet Explorer for a OS version will receive updates.
If you bought Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 is available for that version, you will only receive updates for Internet Explorer 11.
So if your version of Windows supports Internet Explorer 11 you must update to it IE 11 to continue receiving security updates.
If your OS version only supports IE 10 you will receive updates for IE 10.
And there is nothing about programming in this, it is about IE support policy.
There is nothing from Microsoft that indicated other than IE11 will not be installed on future releases of Windows 10. They do say that IE will be supported for as long as whatever they decide it will be if IE 11 is on a given PC. That's not the same thing.
Further and most important for what I care about is, what about MSHMTL.* and IEFRAME.*
Will they be there whether or not IE11 is installed? And yes, I know this is basically IS (over-simplification by some that responded), but that's not at all the same thing.
Windows has included many legacy dependencies for ages.
So unless anyone has something better to say that read what they wrote or the line, that would be welcome and feel free to comment and re-open this, but so far there's nothing to actually answer that concern, albeit perhaps I did not ask it as specifically as this.

Legacy VB 6 Remote Debugging desktop application

I would post what I have tried, but I have not yet found any information on how to do this. I've searched and have not come up with any answers.
I would like to be able to debug a desktop application that was written in VB 6 and is installed on a remote machine in my network from within my local VB 6 IDE.
The reason I'm using VB 6 is because the application is legacy and is being maintained (a pain).
Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
I've never managed to do this.
I would suggest installing VB6 on the remote machine and running the application interpreted using a remote desktop session.

How to open Clip Board Viewer in Windows 7 [duplicate]

In Windows XP clipbrd is the command to open the clipboard viewer.we can able to see the current copied items or the Path.
In Windows 7 what is the command to open clipboard viewer..?
can any one tell me the answer..?
There is no clipboard viewer in Windows 7 to the best of my knowledge. In fact I think clipbrd.exe was removed from Windows at Vista. However, the XP clipbrd.exe still works fine, or there are countless 3rd party clipboard viewers to choose from.

Multiple Internet Explorer instances on one machine [duplicate]

Running Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 on the same machine
I am looking for a tool that can allow me to run Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 (and Internet Explorer 8 if possible) on my machine. I found something on the Internet like this and some other interesting solutions, but I need your opinion based on experience. Which is the best choice for running multiple Internet Explorer instances from the point of view of a web-developer?
Edit: thank you for the help, I installed some of the tools you suggested, and I decided to stick to those two: IETester and IE Collection - easy to install, intuitive UI and fast response time.
The others:
xenocode just crashed or I
couldn't install it properly.
Multiple IE wanted me to
install Microsoft .NET which took
eternity and at the end,
surprise...nothing worked. Then
again it's probably my poor
installing skills
IE Application
Compatibility VPC Image seems to
be the most professional approach to
the issue but I just liked IETester
and IE Collection better.
Microsoft provides VPC virtual hard drives with various OS images and IE versions for just this purpose:
Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image
Note that the OS installs are time-bombed so you have to periodically download new images from MS.
If you're on Windows you can try the new SuperPreview tool: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/6/8/568F0D28-0434-4794-B7FC-FB293BCC98FB/SuperPreview_Trial_en.exe
I've used this:
http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE
This will get IE 6 going and earlier versions if that's a priority. Then you can just install IE 8 because it allows you to use IE7 "compatibility mode" so you can effectively mimic IE7.
You can install multiple versions of IE using this installer: http://finalbuilds.edskes.net/iecollection.htm
Use IETester. It's "for free" and follow its updates.
I've had fairly good results using Xenocode for browser testing
