How does it work?

Excuse my ignorance but may I ask how the program works?  Apparently the only alternative right now for Vista is to install a Microsoft-supplied virtual image, which seems a pretty foolproof way to test IE6 etc.  But your application is obviously smaller/nicer than running that.  There doesn't seem to be any doco on the net; how did you get the alternative rendering engines going?  I'm just wondering how reliable they are as a test of a real Win+IE setup.

I suppose you mean "technically speaking" : I am hooking win32 functions to override standard calls and launch custom versions of IE instead of standard version.

Re: How does it work?

Thanks.  Yeah I meant technically, I had looked at the doco already and didn't find anything there.  I'm using Firefox and the video doesn't work in Firefox - just realised there is a video there if you use IE.

Anyway I just started using the program and it looks like a pretty cool program.  One thing though is on installation it should put itself in the All Users start menu rather than the start menu of the current user.  If you run as User instead of Administrator then you have to be elevated to Admin to install.  Then you don't find the program in your start menu, only the Admin's start menu.

Re: How does it work?

Thanks for the feedbacks.

1/ Doc Video & FF : IT is working on my FF3, with Flash 10. Be sure to not have flash block or things like that.

2/ Start menu : Good point here, I will try to improve the install process in a future release.
