This article was previously published under Q183044 SUMMARY
When you create an application that uses the WebBrowser control, the
currently installed version of Internet Explorer (IE) is used. If you
create a Visual Basic project with Internet Explorer 3.0 installed on your
development computer, your project will use the IE3 WebBrowser control. When
you upgrade to Internet Explorer 4.0, the newly created projects will use
the IE4 WebBrowser control. Your existing projects still use the IE3
compatible version of the WebBrowser control. However, you are no longer
able to create new projects with the IE3 WebBrowser control.
This article describes how to set up your development computer so that you
can create either IE3 or IE4 WebBrowser-based applications.
Please be sure you test your application on a computer running IE3 only (as
well as testing on a computer running IE4) to ensure that you are not
unintentionally taking advantage of any Internet Explorer 4.0 features.
