A set of step-by-step instructions for installing Microsoft's free Internet Explorer 8-11 and MS Edge Windows virtual machines under Linux using VirtualBox. Microsoft has since removed most of the VM images from its CDN, so the repository is kept for historical purposes.
Use cases
- test websites in internet explorer on linux
- run ie11 virtual machine in virtualbox
- set up microsoft edge vm for browser testing
- cross-browser testing on ubuntu
- import ie windows appliance into virtualbox
- legacy browser compatibility testing
When to choose
- you need historical reference for setting up Microsoft's old IE/Edge VM images on Linux with VirtualBox
- you are maintaining legacy web apps that must be tested in IE 8-11
When to avoid
- you need working VM downloads today - Microsoft removed most images from its CDN
- you need modern browser testing - use current Edge/Chrome VMs or browser automation instead
