Just a quick note to others who might encounter the same problem. After downloading the files, you'll notice that the first partition of each image is a .sfx file. In order to get things working properly on my system (Mountain Lion) I had to rename the extension to a plain old .rar. I was able to uncompress the .sfx file, but the result (using UnRarX) was corrupt.

OR:
1- Download the .sfx and Rar files to the folder of your choice

2- Open Terminal on mac and go to the folder where you have your .sfx file.

3- Give the .sfx file the right to execute on your computer with this command : chmod +x filename.sfx (only the .sfx file).

4-execute .sfx file with this command: ./filename.sfx

5-you're done

exemple:
chmod +x IE7.Vista.For.MacVMware.part01.sfx
./IE7.Vista.For.MacVMware.part01.sfx

Very handy, thanks

Thanks so much !! :)

Excellent :)

btw these all came from http://modern.ie/

Thank you for this. It is really helpful. However, the URL for IE10 on Windows 8 appears to be wrong. Does anyone know what the correct URL is? I tried various things and I couldn't find it.

I found the URLs for the image for IE10 for Windows 8:

curl --progress-bar -O "https://az412801.vo.msecnd.net/vhd/IEKitV1_Final/VMWare_Fusion/IE10_Win8/IE10.Win8.For.MacVMware.part{1.sfx,2.rar,3.rar}"

I got them from http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads. I will send a pull request when I get a chance.

I fixed the IE10 URLs in my own fork. It can be seen at https://gist.github.com/mikez302/6540125. I would make a pull request but it seems like there is no way to make a pull request from a Gist.
