Internet Explorer 9 Forum

I am installing IE9 on my MacAir (OSX 10.8.4). Thus far I have attempted 32 and 64bit on Win7 bottles; and 32bit on an XP bottle. All installations fail to complete. The IE app is not visible in any bottle created; and is not on the programs menu. Wanted to ask here if there are known issues with this install or if anyone can provide steps / guidance that will result in a successful install. As this app is listed Silver in the compat DB, someone in the community must have installed and run it successfully.

Here is a copy of the log for what appears to be the complete session for my latest attempt to install 32bit on Win7:

i have the same issue
i also thought that since it is Silver, it will be easy
but nothing installed after trying various ways and version of IE9

never worked for me either...

should not be listed as Silver.

Same here. I've tried everything and IE9 downloads, then tries to install, but gives an error saying it can't. Tried x86 and 64bit, Win7, etc.

Someone either needs to show how to install IE9 on Crossover 12.5 for Mac or someone need to downgrade the "silver" status so people like me don't waste their time trying it.

AFIAK, IE9 is a complete no-go on Crossover 12.5 for Mac.

You can easily rate how well the program works yourselves. Go the the Details tab and rate.
