For some time I have been using wine plus winetools on Ubuntu Breezy, allowing me to be able to use Internet Explorer on linux. When updating to the newer versions of Wine on either Brreezy or Dapper, I find that internet explorer n longer works. The winetools page shows two files that need to be downloaded wt-config.reg and ie6.reg along with winetools for wine 9.x No where can I find how to add these to the "registry" , or WHICH file in wine I am supposed to add them to, install them, or where to place them, What do I do with these? I have programs running under winetools that need ie for them to work. cureently I have been running an earlier version of wine to do this, but have recently made some additions that need the later versions of wine.

Hi Bryann ... Microsoft Internet Explorer no longer functions under WINE since 9.12 (or so) - there is now a built in version that is a royal pain to get working, and there has been SOME limited success in getting the full fledged version running, but I have a better solution for you - go back to Wine 9.10 , re run Winetools to set up IE6 - you may unfortunately need to start everything from scratch - after several hours of configuration nightmares, I have had no success in getting either the built in version (gecko engine) or MS' version of IE to run. If you really want to give it a shot, check out the APP Db at www.winehq.org - look up Internet Explorer 6 - there are instructions there on how to get it working - hasn't worked for me, but maybe you'll be lucky ...

Hi, I also had troubles getting IE running under wine UNTIL if found IEs 4 Linux [1]. Run one install script and it simply worked. It also leaves the default wine configuration untouched. Markus [1] http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
