    ### IE7 - Vista
    **Note:** Sadly no IE7 with XP image has been provided by Microsoft, which could have offered a smaller download.
    ## Install notes
    - Create a new Virtual Machine via Virtual Box, name as required.
    - All images are to be run as **32bit** virtual machines *except* for the **IE11 - Win10** image which is **64bit**.
    - Select *Use an existing virtual hard drive file*.
    - Pick your downloaded and extracted `*.vmdk` image.
    - Apply any image specific system settings as outlined for each IE/OS version combination below.
    - You may need/wish to update **VirtualBox Guest Additions** after system boot up to match that of your installed VirtualBox version.
    - Wise to keep a clean copy of each vmdk disk image once the OS usage period ends and avoid a full image re-download.


    ## Available images

    ### IE7 - Vista Enterprise
    **Note:** Sadly no "IE7 with XP" image has been provided by Microsoft, which *could* have offered a smaller download.

    ```sh
    $ mkdir -p ~/vm/ie7vista && cd ~/vm/ie7vista
    $ wget -i https://gist.github.com/magnetikonline/5274656/raw/ie7-vista.txt
    $ chmod u+x IE7.Vista.For.LinuxVirtualBox.part1.sfx
    $ ./IE7.Vista.For.LinuxVirtualBox.part1.sfx
    $ tar xf "IE7 - Vista.ova"
    $ rm IE7.Vista.For.LinuxVirtualBox.part?.* IE7*.ov? ie7-vista.txt
    $ cat IE7.Vista.For.Linux.VirtualBox.zip.00? > IE7.Vista.For.Linux.VirtualBox.zip
    $ unzip IE7.Vista.For.Linux.VirtualBox.zip
    $ tar -xf "IE7 - Vista.ova"
    $ rm IE7.Vista.For.Linux.VirtualBox.zip* IE7*.ov?
    ```

    - Use the resulting `IE7 - Vista-disk1.vmdk` with VirtualBox.
    - Recommended 512MB RAM minimum.
    - Image will give a total of 30 days of use, after which you might be able to [rearm the image](#rearming-images).
    - **Note:** After creating the VirtualBox machine instance, you *must* go to **Settings - System** and enable **IO APIC**, otherwise the VM won't boot.

    - Select *Use an existing virtual hard drive file*, pick your downloaded and extracted `*.vmdk` image
    - Apply any VM specific system settings as outlined above
    - All images are 32bit VM's
    - Create a new Virtual Machine via Virtual Box, name as required.
    - Select *Use an existing virtual hard drive file*, pick your downloaded and extracted `*.vmdk` image.
    - Apply any image specific system settings as outlined above.
    - All images are to be run as 32bit virtual machines.
    - You may need/wish to update **VirtualBox Guest Additions** after system boot up to match that of your VirtualBox version.
    - Wise to keep a clean copy of each vmdk disk image once the OS usage period ends and avoid a full image re-download.


    ## Activating images
    For Windows 7 and 8 images once connected to the Internet you can activate the trial to give a full 90 days of use. Enter the following:

    C:\> slmgr /ato


    ## Time limits and rearming
    All images above will last a total of 30 days from the moment of first use, plus you are allowed two "rearm" periods of 30 days each. After the 90 days of total use, you will be able to use each VM for a total of 1 hour before automatic shutdown.
    ## Rearming images
    For Windows XP, Vista and 7 images you might be able to extend the trial usage period once it has expired via a "rearm" process.

    - To rearm a WindowsXP image:
    - To rearm a Windows XP image:

    C:\> rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk

    - To rearm Windows Vista, 7 and 8 run the following:
    - To rearm Windows Vista, and 7 run the following as an administrator:

    C:\> slmgr –rearm
    C:\> slmgr /rearm
