Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8

Requirements

brew cask install virtualbox

brew cask install vagrant

Modern.ie for Vagrant

To create a new Modern.IE box:

  • Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/hugsy/modern.ie-vagrant.git win8
  • Edit Vagrantfile to change the line VM = VMS[<id>] where id is the index of the box you want to have (default: Windows 8 / IE11)

NOTE: Set --memory to at least 8GD and --cpus to 4-6 for windows to run reasonably fast.

  • For the directory, launch Vagrant the first time with the environment FIRSTBOOT set to 1
$ cd win8 && FIRSTBOOT=1 vagrant up

NOTE: the FIRSTBOOT will force Vagrant to show a GUI for the VM, which is required to run the initial scripts and enable WinRM

The next boot can be done without the FIRSTBOOT environment variable

To test an application running on port 4000 on the host, find the ip address of the host, in Ubuntu execute ip address and point your browser in the guest Windows machine to the ip address + port, i.e. http://192.168.0.110:4000

That's it!!
