- Download & Install VirtualBox – Download Now (direct .dmg download link) – visit VirtualBox Downloads page
- Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/)
- Decide which versions of Internet Explorer you want to download and install – each version of Internet Explorer is contained within a separate virtual machine that runs within VirtualBox. In other words, if you want to run Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9, you will need to download three separate VM’s, which may take a while so keep that in mind. Select the text below and copy it:
-
Install ALL versions of Internet Explorer: IE7, IE 8, and IE 9
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
-
Install Internet Explorer 7 Only
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="7" bash
-
Install Internet Explorer 8 Only
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="8" bash
-
Install Internet Explorer 9 Only
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="9" bash
-
- Copy and paste the selected command from above into the Terminal and hit return, this will start the download and conversion process. How long this takes depends on your internet connection and how many versions of Internet Explorer you chose to install
- Launch VirtualBox and boot Windows & Internet Explorer – select the virtual machine corresponding to the version of Internet Explorer you intend to use: IE7, IE8, IE9, then click on the “Start” button to boot thatWindowsmachine with that version of Internet Explorer.
Remember that the default Windows admin password is “Password1″, it’s also the password hint within the VM should you forget it.

Re: Unable to use USB on windows 7 install
I was having the same problem with any usb device. Found a solution for myself, hope it helps.
1. Remove usb devices from host
2. With guest shut down, remove all devices from USB filters. Added new default filter (ie. Did not select device from host. Note: one generic filter was enough to manage multiple devices in the guest OS. Ran HTC Incredible 2 and external hard drive simultaneously with no problems.)
3. Enable USB 2.0. You must have the ext. pack to enable this option.
4. Select 1 CPU from system> proccessor menu.
5. Click "OK"
6. Boot guest.
7. Plug in usb device. Drivers should load automatically.
Good luck!
