wine users - May 2006 - build in iexplore.exe

Hi

I want to start the buil-in iexplore.exe. I created a new .wine
directory and typed
#wine iexplore.exe

Then it tries to download the Mozilla ActiveX PlugIn and this is where
the problem starts:
The download window shows, but it doesn't start the download.

I am sitting behind a proxy server (no authorisation needed), and the
proxy is setup correctly:

ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128
http_proxy=http://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128
https_proxy=http://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128
no_proxy='localhost, sun.ac.za'


Any ideas why it doesn't start the download?

No. Why don't you try download and installation manually?

Wine doesn't currently support these environment variables. I sent a patch
to add support for $http_proxy so this would work but it hasn't been
checked in yet. Until Alexandre makes a decision you must manually fiddle
with the registry to set the proxy settings.

The Mozilla activeX control. I think winehq.org has a link, and there
are always search machines.
