two versions

[George White]

I bought some educational software that requires (and
includes) IE 5.0. I do not want to give up IE 6.0. Can I
install both 5.0 and 6.0 without danger of messing my
system up?

It should work with IE 6 anyway. If it just says on the packaging "Requires
IE5" it probably means IE5 or later. You can't easily have both and you
can't easily go backwards. Besides IE6 is more secure. I hope the IE5 part
is an optional install. Perhaps someone here will know for sure if you name
the package or have a website to refer to?

The package is "Personal Professor" from Future Graph, Inc.
(pre-algebra). It detects IE 6 and says it "only works
with ie 5, do I want to install it?" I agree it would prob
work with 6.0 if I could get it past this point.

The company's web site that is listed on the material
seems to no longer exists. thanks

I don't know if changing the version number IE reports would help, nor am I
sure if there could be other adverse implications.. What does anybody else
think?

You are right about their website but might find some interesting stuff
here.
