Hello, I can't seem to get IE to install under wine. I've cleared down everything and created a fake windows, and followed just about every set of instructions for installing IE that I can find. IE5's installer will download everything if i set winver to 95 but IE5 and IE6 cannot connect to the server with winver = 98 I have tried using various Wininet's and *rpc*'s etc.. from windows 2000 but with no resolve. Any ideas?
The IE installer dosen't work in wine, but some time ago some I found some instructions on installing IE in the winehq.com news, just look for it in the last news updates, it's quite a long thisg, you will nead a real win installation (It can be on a diffrent pc) to copy the IE files (iexplorer.exe, various dlls, windows dlls etc), but it should work, good luck.> Hello, >I can't seem to get IE to install under wine.> I've cleared down everything and created a fake windows, and followed > just about every set of instructions for installing IE that I can find. > > IE5's installer will download everything if i set winver to 95 but > IE5 and IE6 cannot connect to the server with winver = 98 > I have tried using various Wininet's and *rpc*'s etc.. from windows 2000 > but with no resolve. > > > Any ideas? > > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@winehq.com > http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users >
I usually avoid questioning someone's reasons for doing something when they ask for help, but I am sorry, I gotta ask it here: Why? I don't mean this in a negative way; I really am curious why one would go through the trouble of using a non-MS operating system and install the IE browswer. I can understand wanting to use Outlook (because one may have an exchange server), Access, Word (not all files convert fully), PowerPoint and the rest. But HTML pages are suppose to follow a standard that allows for reading across browsers. If one insists on using IE why not use the operating system it is theoretically integrated with? I dunno, are there features in the latest IE browser that are not available in other browsers? But if so why insist on Unix? I am not trying to start a flame war or be rude, I really am curious.

Blame that on staff programmers who like MS products, but also on the fact that they're too shorthanded to test and debug their web apps on multiple browser platforms. I just evaluated an online training vendor's product line. It doesn't work with NS6 or Mozilla, which they admit and state that they have no plans to fix. It claims to work with Netscape 4.7x, but I could never login using NS 4.79. It didn't even work with IE 5.5. It only worked with IE6. It uses the Windows Media Player and Shockwave for the multimedia part of the courses. Does WMP work under WINE? Is there a Linux version of Shockwave? Then there are sites that require ActiveX plugins. Finally, there are products (such as the web calendaring app my employer uses) that use archaic browser sniffing techniques and simply refuse to even *let* you try any browser platform version except the few that they accept. I'd much rather be using Linux at work than W98 and/or WindowsXP, but not quite yet. And the majority of our programming staff want to move to .NET and buy the whole MS thing completely. We're rolling out WindowsXP and MS OfficeXP as the organization's standard PC platform (the Mac users will get OS X as their machines are replaced with new ones). David gnome@hawaii.rr.com
