IE 1.0 to IE 8.0 as standalone versions in a single installer.

IE 7 and 8 are not available in the installer; I'm running Win7 x64 with IE 9.0 installed. Falling back to XP Mode for now.

So if you go to Tools > Developer Tools the browser modes for IE 7 and 8 are not there?

The IE7/IE8 compatibility modes are notoriously unreliable, e.g.:

Most importantly, why does my page not work in IE7, even though it works in IE7 mode in IE9?

IE9’s emulation of older IE document modes makes this easier but those emulations are not exact.

IE Collection is great on Windows. I recommend it and use it often.
