I dont want to reopen the Pandoras box that is Windows, but I cannot avoid using IE because Microsoft powers my real estate search programs. Trying to type in a URL to force it to connect does not work either. I wasted a few hours this morning trying to install and got the same problem other users are reporting: IE 7 or 8 (depending on which one you install) loads and says connecting but never actually connects to the web.


When looking at the log file I see the last line reporting Task returned with status 15. It was still useless for me though because it wont bring me to hotmail, and if i need to login to something, the login box is missing. I had the connecting and freeze issue but it worked if i went through google. I used the EI7, When you open it go straight to google using the top URL bar like normal. Its relatively easy to do and totally free by utilizing Microsofts test environments. IE7 runs well, but developing websites, its really annoying that it doesnt show jquery slidersso i dont know if they show or not on IE, but as far as everything else (alignment, fonts, etc), its pretty helpful. IE6 and 8 never installed correctly, and i have tried several times. I had the same problems described on this thread. Go into apps folder where I placed the download and its not their.Īnd, needing Rosetta, it will not function at all on Mac OS 10.7 Lion. In this case you will need to have a Windows install within the virtualization software to be able to run Internet Explorer on top of Mac OS X. You can get Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac OS X if you are interested in running this older version. If you want to run Internet Explorer 7 or 8 in Mac OS Id highly recommend just installing Parallels, VirtualBox, or VMWare with Windows, itll be far more stable.

I can confirm this, both crashed during testing the app but IE8 was particularly problematic. You will then look for the newly downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 7.app file within Applications.
