Windows 7 beta and IETester / DebugBar forums

adriaannel · 2009-03-04 06:16:20

Hi,

Just thought I'd let everybody know that IETester runs fine under win7 beta. IE6 and IE5.5 won't run however and crashes the application, I guess I won't support those browsers in future.

Thanks

fabrice · 2009-03-04 07:03:20

Thanks for your feedback.

Windows 7 is not yet a priority (integrating DebugBar into IETester is the priority so far), but I already checked and there are some stack overflow crashes. I will need some time to investigate and correct the problem. (see the first thread about Windows 7)

jonathantneal · 2009-03-24 17:37:43

Thanks for the update frabrice. I plan to use IETester exclusively once it's working in Windows 7. Folks won't be patient, but that's partially a compliment to the Windows 7 team. A lot of these guys are upgrading to 7 from XP and they're ready for the switch.

fabrice · 2009-03-24 17:48:58

I will work on it in the future, Hopefully the bugs are easy to fix :-)

Hi,
I upgraded Windows 7. I am wating for the fix. in the meantime I am using some other app for ie testing.
Hopefully fabrice will fix the bugs and I will use ie tester again as soon as posible.

Cheers.

adriaannel · 2009-03-25 14:31:07

what other app is that? I require something too

faruk · 2009-03-25 14:42:32

It is not good as ie tester xenocode(dot)com/Browsers

jonathantneal · 2009-04-01 16:30:01

Yea, xenocode crashes pretty easily and has issues with some javascript libraries, but I'll use it until IETester updates. Plus, when it comes to IE6 for web development, who else is helping us? So far it seems like just fabrice.

DavidCOG · 2009-04-18 18:33:04

I just registered to say that I am also in need of IETester working for IE6 under Windows 7.

I've tried http://finalbuilds.edskes.net/iecollection.htm and http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE but neither of these work for IE6. I think the only solution while waiting for a fix to IETester is to run an XP install in VirtualBox.

Can anyone recommend any other solutions?

cTn · 2009-04-25 20:38:40

I must join the Windows 7 fans club of ppl that are missing IE tester there (xenocode doesnt seems to work in windows 7) it just crashes my chrome or firefox when i try to run him, so ill hope that IE tester will be windows 7 ready soon, great work fabrice keep on working

cTn · 2009-04-27 18:41:32

I am sorry to bump this thread again, but did anyone find any way how to check IE 6 websites in windows 7 ? i really need it

Ricardo · 2009-04-27 21:36:09

I'm sure the best way will be using the Win XP Mode thing when it becomes publicly available.

Hello Ricardo, i tested this today, IE 6 works as it is show on screenshots, but IE tester (with IE 6 tab) stil doesnt work in this environment, s "so much for the windows compatibility"

fabrice · 2009-07-24 22:26:11

Hi,

IETester v 0.3.5 is now working under Windows 7 : Note that it is still unstable and trying to open all version at the same time can crash the application.

DavidCOG · 2009-07-25 01:23:04

Thank you - seems to be perfect.

tcruiser · 2009-07-26 18:00:21

Was testing the last version fine in XP mode and installed 3.5 to try today under win7; still seems to have some problems; running on whatever comes with win7 - IIS 7? anyhow, IE8 comes up fine, IE5.5 comes up fine, IE6 comes up inconsistently and IE7 will not come up at all. Have tried google instead of my development website with the same result.

fabrice · 2009-07-26 18:53:50

IE7 will not come up at all

Working on my side with Windows 7 RC.

What do you mean exactly ? The IE7 button is grayed ? The IE7 button is enabled but crashes IETester ? Displays a blank page ? Displays part of the page ?

tcruiser · 2009-07-28 10:47:26

I get an IE7 tab to open but I can never get a webpage to load, not even the default page or something vanilla like Google. IE8 and 5.5 always load - IE6 once in a while, IE7 never. As I said - I have been running the last version in XP mode so I can still test but running under win7 would be much easier.

zerosky · 2009-07-28 10:50:30

IE6 and IE5.5 won't run however and crashes the application in win7 RTM 7600

fabrice · 2009-07-28 10:54:43

There is a misunderstanding here : IETester v0.3.5 is running under NATIVE windows 7, no XP mode involved here.

IE6 and IE5.5 won't run however and crashes the application in win7 RTM 7600

What is RTM 7600 ? Windows 7 RC ? Which version of IETester are you using ?

Thanks.

@zerosky : Please tell me what is version 7600 ? Windows 7 RTM has not been released by Microsoft yet.

RTM 7600 is the Release To Manufacturing version of win7 which will be the version available to the general public in late October.

RC is the release candidate version that most people currently use.
