Download VirtualBox
Apowersoft free screen video recorder. First download VirtualBox for OSX hosts. Latest version at the time of writing this article is VirtualBox 5.0.10 (x86/amd64) and I tried it on Mac OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Install it with default options.
IE virtual machine images
IE virtual machine images are available at modern.ie site (provided by Microsoft) and can be directly downloaded from there and loaded in VirtualBox.

The easier option is to use awesome ievms script developed by Greg Thornton. Assuming you have curl installed on you Mac, run this to setup IE virtual machines:

To recover (or to re-install an IE version) from a failed installation you may have to delete appropriate IE version files from
~/.ievmsdir (assuming it is installed location) and remove corresponding entry from virtualbox ui tool (with “Delete all files” option). Deleting an entry from virtualbox ui tool with “Delete all files” should remove corresponding IE version file from~/'VirtualBox VMs'/directory. This also removes the entry from VirtualBox registry xml file~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml. Here is how remove entry looks like in virtualbox ui tool:Starting IE Virtual Machine

VirtualBox IE viewing modes
Virtual Box has options to run virtual machine in these three modes (can be selected from “View” menu of VirtualBox window):
- Fullscreen ([Command] + F)
- Seamless [Command] + L
- Scale mode [Command] + C
All these modes makes working with IE virtual machine pretty convenient. When I’m working only in IE only then I prefer fullscreen mode. When I need to switch between IE and Mac then I use seamless or scale mode.
