Embed specific Web Browser in C++ application

my question might be crazy, I know it has to be something like COM, but I need to include and COM a specific version of Web browser in my application no matter what version of the browser the computer currently is using, say to include IE7(dll file or whatever) in the project and COM programming it as a window in C++ application to surf web pages on internet although the default browser in client machine is IE9. And deploy the compiled project with IE7 file(s) to client machines. If IE/COM won't work that way, any other browsers can do the tricks?

Many Thanks!

No, you cannot "embed" a specific version of Internet Explorer in your application. But you probably don't need to: when you use the IE COM WebBrowser Control in your application, by default it runs in IE7 Compatibility mode. Later modes are only used if you explicitly set the FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION registry key listing your executable name.
