Install IE7 RC1 in Standalone Mode

Jon Galloway has quite helpfully written a batch script that allows IE7 to be installed in Standalone Mode. What this means is that you will be able to have IE6 (which is fairly stable) and also be able to run IE7 (which is not so stable).

What does the program do?

"IE7s.exe" will create a .exe.local file. After that it will add
values to more than a thousand registry keys in your Windows Registry.
Internet Explorer 7 should start then. 10 seconds later the program
will perform a cleanup, remove all the registry keys and close itself.
It is OK to run multiple instances at once.

What does NOT work?

• Openning a new window and IE7's context menu.
• Bookmarks,
  RSS reader, and the search box. The search box works if you install
  IE7s using the installer. Alternatively, you can directly add search
  providers to the windows registry (article coming soon).
• Visiting pages that need HTTP authentication (username/password)
