wine users - May 2008 - Problems with HTML Rendering. Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.0-rc1

I have installed Sacred under Wine. 

"This application is trying to show an HTML Page. Wine needs Gecko (Mozilla
HML engine) to be installed to show the page. Click install if you want Wine to
automatically download and install Gecko."

When I click on install... Nothing happens. I have tried to use the Ubuntu
Forums to figure out what the answer is, but those haven't been successful.

Any suggestions?

Try:
$ wine iexplore.exe http://www.google.com
Then click install

It hangs sometimes...If that doesn't work:
$ wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks gecko

Ok I got gecko to work. When I try to run the program now. Instead of getting a
registration page for my copy of the program. I get a redirect to
Amlocalhost.com. A page of ads. But I don't think that is a problem that can
be solved in this forum.

I have the same problem as mentioned in this thread.
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine 1.0.

HTML rendering is disabled in any program I run under Wine. I have accepted the
offer to install gecko many times, to no avail.

Then I tried the commands suggested in this thread:

wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks gecko

This keeps failing with the following message:

sha1sum mismatch!  Rename /home/abuahmed/.winetrickscache/./wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab
and try again.

Of course, I have done as suggested, several times, but I am still not getting
anywhere.

Any ideas?

Try deleting that file, or manually run:
$ wine iexplore http://winehq.org

Thanks. I tried that. But still no luck.
Running wine iexplore http://winehq.org as root produced the following:

Why are you running as root?

I do not run as root. I only opened a terminal window as root for the purpose of
running the command, in order to ensure that (lack of) write access would not be
the problem.

The page I get, after it attempts to install gecko, is totally blank, except for
the message: HTML rendering is disabled at the moment (or similar, I actually
get it in Dutch, my UI language). There is no reference to apache.
