wine users - Mar 2007 - IE Failure to Import Data

Hello,

I've installed IE in Debian Etch, only because the real estate websites I
must access absolutely require IE.  I used IEs4Linux to install IE6, and it went
flawlessly.  IE works fine to surf websites.

I must pull a report using ToolkitCMA.com.  This site installs alot of IE addons
(mainly report templates and an ActiveX control to print pdf's), and the
install of these seems to go without a hitch, using IE6 over Wine.  I start
specifying what I want in the report, and this goes well until it needs to
transfer me to another secure site (NWMLS.com), where the actual data is
acquired.

But it doesn't know what site to refer me to, and this is the problem.  It
says (screenshot attached):
Select MLS Interface  
No MLS Interfaces Configured!
Contact Tech. Support at (800) 828-0970 

So I contacted tech support, and they told me how to reinstall the forms
templates, ActiveX controls, etc into IE6, which I did, but same problem.  I
have asked this question in the IEs4Linux forum, but no response as it isn't
very active.

When I start IE6wine from the command-line I can see some errors during the
failure, but not sure whether they are relevant.  At the time that it goes to
the failure screen:

... and this is it.  The only real complaint is that the printers are not
installed, but I find them in system.reg.  And the only guidance the docs
provide is that printers will work in Wine as long as they work in Cups.  Mine
work in Cups.

Previously I was getting another error with this, but I found in the terminal
window that Wine wanted MFC42.DLL.  So I lifted this from a Win2000 install, and
it resolved this error.

But I still can not access the MLS.  Does anyone have an idea why?

I have heard IE described as a large security hole with a small browser
attached :-P.

To quote the Kerryman when asked for directions:
"You know, if I were you, I wouldn't start from here at all!" :-)

That may not be much use to the foreign tourist in Kerry, but for you
there is an alternative: Some bright spark has written an IE type plugin
for Firefox, to allow firefox to simulate IE. I was on the firefox site
and saw it in passing at some link from  http://www.mozilla.com

Now that I've mentioned it, you sound like the perfect person to try it
out and let us know if it's any good :-D.

Trust me.  I have used Konq through Squid for this very reason, for 9 years.  If
I had aaany choice...

Needless to say, if I can get IE running on Wine, I will only use it on the two
websites required for my business.

I believe you are referring to IETab:
http://ietab.mozdev.org/

Unfortunately this runs on Winduhs only.

So I must try and get IE running properly on Wine.  I wish I could get IE
running properly on Wine.

The version of firefox for m$ products installs under wine.
I thought you might be able to use firefox (under wine) with IEtab

Anyhow, what websites have you trouble with?
