wine users - Oct 2004 - Mozilla ActiveX control

Hello,

I'm using wine/cvs and I'm trying to get IE6 installed (the windows tree
I got using method #2 doesn't work with the current wine/cvs)
I setup the config file so wine simulates an nt environment; then, after 
  deselecting VML the download completes;
However, wine then complains I do not have the Mozilla ActiveX control 
installed (for mshtml.dll)

Can anyone tell me how to install Mozilla ActiveX control, in such a way 
that wine can use it? I can't find much about this

Thanks for any help,

Joris

I have never used method #2 successfully. I depend on Mike Hearn's 
script. This script adds DLLOVERRIDES to the AppDefault section of the 
config file.

Does IE6 actually start for you with the latest wine from cvs? Knowing 
full well that the installation methods may cause this difference, I 
have not been able to get IE6 to run since a patch committed on Sept 
27--#13938. Everything I have read indicates that things work better 
with a win98 environment. However, your comments indicate otherwise.

I also have not been able to use Mozilla ActiveX after I install it. 
There is another situation that I have identified. IE6 Help Engine 
worked with a native mshtml before patch #13475. I am currently 
generating logs with debug info to submit the results of my regressions 
to the developers' list.

I have learned that if a use a system.reg and a user.reg taken from wine 
compiled from source before 20040824 16:00:00 CDT in a version of wine 
compiled from the current cvs, IE6 and its Help Engine are fully functional.

It is MozillaControl171.exe and can be found here:
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm Just run it with wine to
install.

I do not think this will much use for what you want to accomplish. AFAIK
you will have to use native mshtml.dll (and a bunch of others) and those
obviously do not complain about a missing mozilla control.
