Hi, some time ago (around 7. May 2006) there was a coment in the App DB to get the setup of Internet Explorer 6 working. The Coment was about removing some dll names from the wine.inf file. The coment was removed from the App DB, but the setup still fails for me with current cvs (~2 hours ago). Therefore i like two know two things: - does anyone remember which lines needs to be removed from wine.inf - When did the setup of Internet Explorer 6 work without removing the lines after the 7. May? This might be a starting point for regression testing. Please note: Im not interested in running the Internet Explorer, i interested in the dlls, installed during the setup as a starting point for some other installation tests. So don't talk to me about using native internet explorer Thanks Stefan

I couldn't find the executable anywhere in .wine. What does it take to _actually_ run IE6 (assuming it really is there)? -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson

This is the method I have found works for me: - Edit /usr/local/share/wine.inf and remove the following lines: 11,,shlwapi.dll 10,,winhlp32.exe,winhelp.exe 11,,crypt32.dll - Create a a fresh .wine directory. It is important that you edit the .inf file first, as the wine.inf file in .wine is generated using the file you edited. I believe the file may sometimes be found in /usr/share/wine/wine.inf as well. - Change the Windows version to win98 using wincfg - Use the following file to apply some DLL overrides: http://www.bratch.co.uk/tempwhilethecovenisdead/ie6_overrides.reg (run regedit ie6_overrides.reg to apply it) - Install native DCOM98 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=08b1ac1b-7a11-43e8-b59d-0867f9bdda66&displaylang=en - rm .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/regsvr32.exe - Put native mfc40.dll in your .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ directory. This isn't needed for the install program to work, but after it finishes copying files, it fails to load a .ocx file with it. Get it from: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mfc40 - run ie6setup.exe, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en - In the setup, choose a minimal install and uncheck Internet Connect Wizard for the easiest results. This is mostly taken from the howto on the AppDB page, partly from a comment about wine.inf, and the .reg file which I have rehosted was written by someone else, but the file is no longer available on their site. I did all those instructions myself here, with a fresh install of wine-0.9.14, so it should (hopefully) work. Also worthy of note is that the default page (www.msn.co.uk) for me, crashes when it tries to load. I found that stopping it whilst it is still downloading, and changing the home page to something else fixes the problem, as most other pages seem to load fine.

I couldn't find any IE executable, so I wonder if it really is installed? The proper question to ask might be 'how do I invoke IE (native) in wine? And then fiddle about to get the MSIE (if it's really there), which I don't mind doing myself. I can understand that the MSIE itself might actually be a dll, so I figure If I can issue the right command to wine, I can get it to load MSIE instead of native IE.

Maybe sometime. Anyway, there's the native IE for programs that demand it. Thanks. -- If you wrestle in the mud with a pig. you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. -- Dave Dawson
