wine users - Jul 2005 - Do I need to defile my machine, or is there a simple work-around

I am trying to install Microchip's MPLab package (a set of tools for
working with PIC microcontrollers) with the latest Wine from CVS (at
least, latest as of yesterday morning).

I've been running Wine for a while, so I already have an existing Wine
registry. I don't have a Windows install on the machine.

The installer (InstallShield) unpacks, runs, and then pops up a dialog
"Internet Explorer 5 or later must be installed". When the dialog is
acknowledged, the installer exits.

I'm wondering - do I need to defile my machine with IE5, or is this just
a matter of missing registry entries for DLLs that Wine provides?

I noticed that there is no longer a default registry file in the Wine
source tree to be installed when Wine is set up - so the question in my
mind is "How are the initial registry entries set up now?"

For those interested - MPLab is a free download:

The readme file in
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/ReadmeMP720.zip
tells in "Readme for MPAB IDE.txt"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Minimum Required Configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following minimum configuration is required to run MPLAB IDE:

* PC-compatible Pentium(R)-class system
* Supported Windows operating system (see section 2)
* 32 MB memory (128 MB recommended)
* 95 MB of hard disk space
* Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater for installation and on-line Help
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had that problem with Atmel AVR-Studio too. So I installed winetools,
wine-20041019, ie and the avrstudio.

Bye
