chart libraries that work on IE?

I'm looking for (javascript or HTML-based) chart libraries that work on Internet Explorer. Any suggestions? Interactivity is a plus, but not necessary.

I've tried using Flot, but I'm having trouble getting it to work in IE8 (though a recent patch fixed it for IE9). I've also used the Google Chart API, but something a little more easily customizable would be preferred.

For any JavaScript chart library to work on IE 6,7,8, they need to render the chart in VML. Hence, libraries rendering using SVG or Canvas only wouldn't work (hence d3.js based solutions wouldn't work). The following libraries currently have support on IE 6,7,8 as they use a hybrid of SVG and VML:

FusionCharts JavaScript Charting @ http://www.fusioncharts.com

HighCharts @ http://www.highcharts.com

Any JavaScript charting library built on top of Raphael JS e.g., amcharts, gRaphael would also work on IE6,7,8.
