wine users - Apr 2006 - IE install with Wine 0.9.12 under Debian Sarge

Has anyone got any Internet Explorer to install (and then hopefully run)
with Wine under Debian Sarge?
I tried all the methods I could find and have not been able to
successfully do this.  I even tried wiping out the old ~/.wine dir and
starting fresh, but to no avail.  I would appreciate info on this.

Thanks

What version of Wine are you using? The original Sarge one, one from
http://www.backports.org/ or a self-compiled CVS one? If you use the
Sarge version I'd recommend you to update because it is very old.
The last time I tried it it worked with this description: 
http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2006040302-msie-on-linux OK most
of it are security things and I ignored them. Points 5 and 6 are the
important ones. In the current CVS it might be possible to install the
IE without the DCOM98 and DLL overriding things but I can't say this for
sure.

With the patches in my tree, I can install IE6.  Hopefully the patches
will be merged quickly once Alexandre returns from vacation, then this
should work for you, so check back in a couple weeks.

Er, the one in the subject line. That is, 0.9.12, compiled from source.
I'll  look at the URL above and see.
Thanks

Thanks.
I'm not really in a panic, but there are a few apps I think would run if
they could grab msie. I see that some apps can grab Firefox and use it.
Neat stuff!

Just follow the HOWTO in the application database and it will work.

Thanks.
But...
Well, actually I tried that too, and it did not work.
But see James Hawkins earlier response.
It seems that he has been able to install IE without such fuss. His
patches will soon be merged. I only want to use IE for the occasional
program that _insists_ on using it and also for the odd website that
_insists_ on needing it (sometimes that is really so). Wine has it's own
built-in IE app now, which will be of some help, but sometimes not I
think.  It can also bring up the default browser in the desktop being
used, so little by little Wine is 'getting there'/

Hi,

after reading bugtracker i feel it missed some important parts. the wine.inf 
file is used when wine creates the ~/.wine/drive_c. If you remove the enties 
after wine has created the directory the changes do not have an effect.

You can either remove / rename your ~/.wine directory or remove the three file 
from ~/.wine/drive_c/windows and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 
directories.

Hope it is correct like i explained it

Bye Stefan
