If 6 is on your computer you can't do a thing. However, I installed 3, 4 and
5 next to each other in the following way:

1) Start with a clean Windows install with IE4.
2) Install IE5, being sure to choose Custom Install, Advanced, 'Keep IE4 in
Compatibility Mode'
3) Install a 16bits IE3 and ignore Windows' moanings during installation.

However:

1) It's not possible to add IE6 to this setup.
2) I've heard that IE4 in compatibility mode is slightly different from a
'pure' IE4 (but I've never actually seen this for myself).
