IE 6 Standalone

[blm126]

Does anyone know of a fully working standalone IE 6? I have one from Evolt, but recently found out that Microsoft's "filters" don't work. As you probably now it is still necessary to test IE 6. So this a big problem for me right now.

The filters do work; however, it lacks ActiveX support (I presume filter:alpha() will work). This is always going to be the case with standalone versions of the browsers.

All of the standalone versions have been broken to some extent, some worse than others. It may be possible to fix it by copying certain DLLs from an original IE6 installation (though I'm not sure which ones IE6 used for filters), which was how the standalone IE5.5 could use the DirectX-based filters.

If information isn't on the Web at the moment, I'm sure it will be in due course.

Not here, though admittedly the Alpha filter was the only one I tried (it's the simplest).

It's IE7 standalone though, not IE6.

It was the alpha filter(opacity) I was having problems here. I guess I'll just have to hope that my filters work the same in IE 6 as they do in IE 7.
