To answer your question  no  it s not possible to have multiple versions of IE  if that is what you meant  installed in a  normal  way  i e  not a hack  a sandbox or a VM etc   It s perfectly ok to have multiple browsers of different types installed on the same machine  such as IE8  Firefox 3 and  Chrome all at once   SandboxIE should allow you to install multiple versions of IE side-by-side  as well as other software   and this is less hassle than going down the virtual machine route   However  from a QA point of view I d strongly recommend installing different versions on different machines as the best option from a testing point of view  This will give you the most realistic testing environment  If you don t have the hardware for that  then virtual machines are the next best option as mentioned in some of the other answers

I would use VMs   Create an XP  or whatever  VM using VMware Workstation or similar product  and snapshot it   That is your oldest version   Then perform the upgrades one at a time  and snapshot each time   Then you can switch to any snapshot you need later  or clone independent VMs based on all the snapshots so you can run them all at once   You probably want to test on different operating systems as well as different versions  so VMs generalize that solution as well rather than some one-off solution of hacking multiple IEs to coexist on a single instance of Windows
