VS2013RC requires IE10, but I need (don't want) IE8

I have been evaluating VS2013preview since its release and really wanted to install RC. The problem is that we need ie8 to test obsolescence, as many clients in this area still use it.

As a possible workaround, could you either skip or trick the installation package into thinking about installing it? or install ie10 and then go back to ie8 after installation?

I appreciate that there may be some areas of things, such as browserlink, i.e. I can’t use, but that’s fine, since I mainly use chrome to get the dev working out before testing in different browsers.

The loan goes to Jimmy here , but it breaks in to make it work:

@ECHO OFF :IE10HACK REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v Version /t REG_SZ /d "9.10.9200.16384" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v svcVersion /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.9200.16384" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v Version /t REG_SZ /d "9.10.9200.16384" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v svcVersion /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.9200.16384" /f GOTO EXIT :REVERTIE REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v svcVersion REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v svcVersion REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v Version /t REG_SZ /d "8.0.7601.17514" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" /v Version /t REG_SZ /d "8.0.7601.17514" /f GOTO EXIT :EXIT

The problem is that you are trying to use the same machine for development and testing. Do not rely on a local copy of IE on your computer to test the old browser, instead rely on copies of the Windows virtual machine and run this particular browser.

If you need a quick and dirty way to test your stuff in certain versions of IE, use IETester as mentioned by others in the comments. http://my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

You may need to simply use the virtual machine to run a copy of Windows with IE8 in it for your testing, since you are not actually using it for daily work.
