For some time I have been using wine plus winetools on Ubuntu Breezy, allowing me to be able to use Internet Explorer on linux. When updating to the newer versions of Wine on either Brreezy or Dapper, I find that internet explorer n longer works. The winetools page shows two files that need to be downloaded wt-config.reg and ie6.reg along with winetools for wine 9.x No where can I find how to

I tried installing IE6 using winetools, this failed for some reason. after several attempts i found IEs4linux, which installed IE5 and IE6 for me with no hassle, can i get winetools to recognise this install? because it won't let me install other software at the minute, or could someone give me a hand in getting winetools to work with the original IE6 setup? cheers!

Hi, I've been messing with Wine and WineTools off and on for a couple of days now. In general I can certainly see the bright future out there, but so far it eludes me. I've used various versions of Wine successfully before, but with recent Wine I'm having little luck. I'm on an FC2 machine with a custom kernel but can switch to Gentoo if required. I've tried both

Dear friends: I am pleased to say that I successfully installed Internet Explorer Sp1 on my Linux (Scientific Linux 4.0, which is based on RHEL 4) using Wintools. After installing IE6, I thought installing WordView (the Word97 word view program) would be a snap. But instead Wintools failed to install it in several attempts. It started, downloaded the file and tried to install it. But at

Hi, I used some time ago the winetools package to configure wine older than 0.9.10 with IE6 and Office 2000. Updates of wine up to 0.9.10 where also succesful, so that I was able to continue the usage of MS Office2000. But since the Desktop changes in wine 0.9.11, 0.9.12 the old installation does no more work. ## My experiements to install IE6 and Office 2000 without winetools are not yet

After updating from, say winetools-2.10-jo to 2.11-jo (by rpm), I can't use the wt startup scripts like ie6, wmplayer etc. any longer, and I get an error message similar to "winetools hasn't been configured for this user. Run the base setup ..." But doing so would erase my ~/.wine directory and thus destroy my old setup including all my program installations, which of course

I just red the article on the website about winetools. This is controversy is a non starter in my oppinion. I believe that something like winetools should be included in the wine distribution to begin with. It should be something under the control of the developers themselves and bug reports should be added to fix any problems. Why did it take someone outside of the wine development team to

Hello everybody, I know there are many HOWTOs out there about installing IE6, but none seem to mention the problem I have. The installation of IE6 doesn't go beyond the window: "Setup was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you are connected to the internet or try to run Setup later again" Trying to set wininet to "native" or "builtin"

Hello, I installed IE6 with both WineTools and IEs4Linux (under different user accounts). Most of the features work, but IE often hangs. Then I can only kill the process. Has someone got IE6 stable under WINE? If so, which WINE version do I have to use and how shall I configure it? Thanks in advance, Colin Finck

Hi, I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 with wine 1.0 (upgraded thru update manager). I previously installed wine & winetools using instructions from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149585.

I'm kind of a newbie on the whole Wine deal and I'm close to flipping out on this problem I have, maybe it's happened to someone else (who can share his/her wisdom): - Internet Explorer can't open new windows. Be it javascript, a popup, or even if you click on 'File -> New -> Window' and if you try, it hangs. So it's practically unusable to me since the corporate
