Yes, you are right. I meant iexplore.exe.
I had slightly better luck now. When I create a new .wine directory by
winecfg, if I set OS emulation to Windows 2000 (the default was Windows
XP), I could actually get IE6 completely installed (at least appearantly
complete). But I still couldn't run it!
When I run iexplore.exe, it always show my a completely blank IE6
window, and pop up saying that it needs "Wine Gecko Installer." But
even
if I press the "Download" button, nothing happens, and the IE6 window
remained empty.
After a little bit of searching, I tried installed Mozilla ActiveX
Control. This time round, IE6 no longer ask me to download "Wine Gecko
Installer," but still, the IE window is completely blank.
Appearantly, most people didn't have any problem installing IE6 from the
installer. But I just wonder if there is anything so peculiar about my
system (Ubuntu Edgy, completely new installation, Wine 0.9.27 built from
source)... It's been really a pain these few days while I was trying all
sorts of methods trying to get IE installed... *sigh*

But I still couldn't run it!Running native IE requires to override many components, have a look at the AppDB : http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=469 However as I said before, if you only want to satisfy installers you don't need to run IE, just install it. If you want to run IE, use ies4linux or find the correct overrides.> > When I run iexplore.exe, it always show my a completely blank IE6 > window, and pop up saying that it needs "Wine Gecko Installer."

After downloading and installing gecko (it should be automatic), you will be able to browse websites using builtin IE (but no menus, other UI yet).> > After a little bit of searching, I tried installed Mozilla ActiveX > Control.

Running _native_ IE is more tricky and not supported as Wine provides it's own implementation of IE. Good luck, Jonathan

Look on the bright side, step 1 is complete and done. Step 2 is to get the thing to work and that is going to take some dev work. So you can 1) Help the effort a whole lot by actively developing a solution 2) Help the effort a little less by submitting reports and data 3) Be patient and wait for IE support to improve so that it is useable It would be really cool if you were able to pull off #1 but if not, at least you know the current state of affairs. alan
