But IEs4Linux sucks IMHO. First of all, ideally, I'd like IE be installed into my existing .wine folder, instead of a new profile. Secondly, and more importantly, I want IE to be running in a Win2k/WinXP WINE environment. (IEs4Linux always set the environment to Win98, thus preventing my to further install other software in the environment that requires IE.--Most software nowadays requires some features from Win2k/WinXP...) For the above simple reasons, I can only wait till there's better solution...

Thanks for the prompt, Jonathan. But do you have more details on how to
install IE6? I personally tried it (with IE6setup.exe downloaded from
Microsoft), but the installation didn't complete after the installer
completes (in Windows, it expects a reboot). But when I run wineboot,
nothing happened, and the remaining installation didn't proceed on,
which prevent the actual installation to complete.
Worse still, the installation basically corrupts my .wine profile, and
the half-installed IE cannot be installed from uninstaller either.
OTOH, it is a matter of fact that many software nowadays use some IE
controls somewhere. That doesn't mean I want to run IE, but I just want
to have those other software with IE control dependency to run. But with
a half-installed IE, I cannot do much about it.
I'd greatly appreciate if you have any pointer on how best to install IE6.

Have you personally tried it, alan? IEs4Linux's directory structure (as
well as DLL file mapping) is quite different from a Win2k/WinXP
emulating environment of WINE. (I also personally tried manually setting
the OS emulation in an IEs4Linux environment. The result? IE simply
didn't start after that. And many other software had problem coping with
an environment that appeared half Win98 half Win2k.)
Sorry for the flame here. But I was just a little bit frustrated when I
go to Google, and found mostly winetool or ies4linux reference when
coming to install IE6. Nothing of them are actually up-to-date when you
want an Win2k/XP-based emulation environment.
Cheers,
Freddie
